Hans Erich Dausch (HE Dausch)

HE, as Dauch is known in Germany (mainly by sommeliers and geeks), is recognised as one of the country’s best pinot noir producers, and in recent years he’s received several awards for his wines. He’s a must-know if you really like pinot noir.

He produces four wines: one from Herrschafft and two from Eschbacher Hasen. One of the latter is named Eschbacher Hasen, while the other is the HE Pinot Noir cuvee from the core of the vineyard. In recent years, a new top wine – l’Artiste – has been produced in very limited numbers (around 240 bottles per year)
