I was amused to see that Johann (or maybe Hansi) Ruck is not above a pun - he has also coined the "dernier cru" ('s Hindaletzschde!). Well, my lame attempt of a teutonic translation is probably mishapen; he just used Wine French to create the counterpart to a prime or first harvest (Jungfernlese, which is NOT an Ottoman military experiment of setting up an Janissary amazon reguiment).
His 2009er Rödelseer Schwanleite Grauburgunder alte Reben „dernier cru“ simply was the last harvest before the old pinot gris vines were uprooted and presumably replaced.
