Martin Franzen er en af Robert Parkers "Wine Personalities of the Year -- 2005:
Martin Franzen, Winemaker, Müller Catoir Haardt (Pfalz) - Trying to follow in the steps of Hans Günter Schwarz, who made wines at this great Pfalz empire for 36 years, could not have been an enviable job, but the Mosel born Martin Franzen has done just that. The results are a continuity of profoundly complex wines of great individuality as well as aromatic and flavor dimensions.
