„Aus den Lagen“ Weissburgunder 2023

Wine Description for „Aus den Lagen“ Pinot Blanc 2023 by Christmann

Colour & Appearance

Pale, sparkling golden yellow with distinct green reflections – a wine that already announces its youthful freshness and vibrancy in the glass.

Nose

This Pinot Blanc impresses through subtle elegance rather than assertive aromatics. Pear and quince form the foundation, complemented by fine notes of almond, hazelnut and a hint of wine yeast. The nose remains restrained, almost meditative – a deliberate stylistic choice that favours finesse over opulence. This cool, multifaceted structure piques curiosity for the first sip.

Palate

On the palate, the true strength of this wine unfolds: pure drinking pleasure. The texture is fine and elegant, carried by an invigorating freshness that is never dominated by aggressive acidity. Instead, a saline minerality provides tension and length. With moderate 12% alcohol, the wine remains light-footed and precise – a Burgundy style that combines substance with elegance. Spontaneous fermentation lends it additional complexity without heaviness.

General Information

Christmann winery has radically streamlined its portfolio: all vineyards outside VDP-classified sites have been released. The „Aus den Lagen“ comes 100% from First and Grand Cru vineyard sites – hand-picked, spontaneously fermented and carefully assembled. The result is a base wine that would pass as a top wine elsewhere.

Food Pairing Recommendations

A universal companion for purist cuisine: Pan-fried turbot, scallops, asparagus with hollandaise sauce, veal schnitzel with lemon, goat’s cheese, mushroom risotto or steamed sea fish. The saline minerality also makes it an ideal match for oysters and seafood.

Special Features

This Pinot Blanc embodies Christmann’s new philosophy: concentration on the essentials. A wine without ego, which impresses through precision and drinking pleasure – exactly what one should expect from a modern German Pinot Blanc. Excellent value for money for vineyard site quality.
