Markus Molitor: Domäne Serrig exclusively via La Place de Bordeaux

by Dorli Muhr

Top German winemaker Markus Molitor recently released the first wines from his exceptional Domäne Serrig winery. Domäne Serrig is the first German winery to be traded exclusively on the renowned marketplace La Place de Bordeaux.

Markus Molitor has breathed new life into Domäne Serrig, a vineyard on the Saar founded in 1904 by Kaiser Wilhelm II. After an extensive restructuring of the vineyards and renovation work on the historic buildings, he is now launching his first two wines on the market. 

The winery is positioning itself initially with the following wines: 

  • 2020 Serriger Vogelsang Grosse Lage, Domäne Serrig 

  • 2020 Serriger Vogelsang Kabinett, Domäne Serrig

These are sold exclusively via La Place de Bordeaux – a milestone, as this makes Domäne Serrig the first German winery to be sold exclusively via this internationally renowned marketplace. 

Pioneering winery

Under state control, the estate developed into a model business at the beginning of the 20th century, pioneering viticultural work for the entire region and creating world-class Rieslings. Since 2016, Markus Molitor has continued this eventful history. In keeping with the historically anchored concept of quality, which is also reflected in the architecture of the winery building, he restructured the 25-hectare, contiguous Vogelsang monopole vineyard and has been renovating the cellar and sales premises since 2017. Another exciting chapter for Domäne Serrig and Markus Molitor is now beginning with the exclusive sale of the first wines from this vineyard via La Place de Bordeaux.

2020 Serriger Vogelsang Grosse Lage, Domäne Serrig

Engage in the vibrant dance between expressive flint and delicate white fruit nuances. The palate reveals a finely structured body, both taut and commanding. Its unique minerality, reminiscent of sea salt, shines through. Concluding with a pristine finish, the wine lingers, asserting its near-endless persistence.

2020 Serriger Vogelsang Kabinett, Domäne Serrig

Embark on sensory journey with lucid white fruit aromas entwined with subtle slate undertones. Experience Clear aromas of white fruit paired with fine hints of slate. Delicate and precise, almost weightlessly dancing on the palate. Vibrant in the mineral finish, animating and nimble with a piquant aftertaste.

"Domäne Serrig is establishing itself as a top international winery, completely separate from Weingut Markus Molitor. For the launch, it was therefore essential for us to operate via a global distribution system that is recognised as the best in the world. This gives interested parties the opportunity to order our wines along with the great Bordeaux vintages and other top international wines. The logistical and administrative aspects also contributed significantly to this decision."

Markus Molitor, Owner

In brief: 

Vogelsang Grosse Lage, Domäne Serrig and Vogelsang Kabinett, Domäne Serrig are distributed through La Place de Bordeaux by the courtier Excellence Vin. The list of 18 négociants is available from Domaine Serrig on request. The first vintage, available now, is 2020.

Domäne Serrig

Under state control at the beginning of the 20th century, the domain developed into a showcase operation, with a pioneering winery that not only created world-class Rieslings but served as an example for the entire region. Markus Molitor has continued this trailblazing history since he bought the estate in 2016. In keeping with the historically anchored concept of quality, he restructured the 25-hectare, contiguous steep Vogelsang slope and has been renovating the cellar and sales premises since 2017. With the exclusive trade of the first wines from this vineyard via La Place de Bordeaux, another exciting chapter now begins for Domäne Serrig and Markus Molitor.
