Laumersheim Chardonnay Reserve 2023
Laumersheim Chardonnay Reserve
Laumersheim Chardonnay Reserve
Dense pear with toasted vanilla.
In the glass, this Chardonnay shimmers with a dense, golden-yellow robe that almost appears opaque. Fine, oily "church windows" slowly run down the glass – a foretaste of its powerful character. No light-footed dancer, but rather a muscular soloist with presence.
The nose offers a dense tapestry of roasted aromas, toasted hazelnut, and a hint of vanilla and bacon. Beneath these, citrus zest, ripe pear, and a touch of chard emerge – complex, creamy, yet with tension. Smoke, yeast, spice. Chardonnay with significant grip on the nose.
On the palate, the wine pushes with power – creamy, but not watered down. The acidity is as precise as a scalpel, bringing freshness to the richness. Lemon meets toasted brioche, creaminess meets cool minerality. A Chardonnay with backbone, depth, and a finish that demands a second helping.
Selective hand-picking, long lees aging, and skillful use of wood shape a Chardonnay that combines French schooling with Palatinate rootedness. The barrique aging is noticeable but perfectly integrated – not make-up, but a tailored suit. A German Chardonnay that doesn't need to hide.
