„Aus den Lagen“ Weissburgunder 2024 1500ml Magnum

Wine Description for „Aus den Lagen“ Pinot Blanc 2024 1500ml Magnum by Christmann

Character

Christmann winery from Gimmeldingen ranks among the leading producers of the Palatinate and is renowned for its uncompromising quality philosophy in biodynamic viticulture. The „Aus den Lagen“ Pinot Blanc represents the entry point into Christmann’s stylistic approach: straightforward, precise and terroir-driven. The magnum bottle underscores the ageing potential and the seriousness with which even base wines are treated here. With moderate 12% alcohol and a dry orientation, this wine embodies the new German elegance.

Terroir & Origin

The Palatinate, particularly the Mittelhaardt around Gimmeldingen, offers ideal conditions for Pinot Blanc: limestone and marl soils combined with a mild, almost Mediterranean climate. Christmann manages his vineyards according to biodynamic principles, which results in vital vines and expressive grapes. The „Aus den Lagen“ wine unites grape material from various parcels into a harmonious whole that prioritises regional typicity over individual vineyard site characteristics.

Grape Variety & Vinification

Pinot Blanc has found a home in the Palatinate for decades. At Christmann, the variety is treated with the same care as the more prestigious siblings Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir. Vinification is reductive and precise, mostly in stainless steel tanks or neutral oak barrels, to preserve fruit clarity. The result: a wine with fine texture, vibrant acidity and subtle minerality, which combines substance with drinkability.

Food Pairing Recommendations

This versatile Pinot Blanc harmonises beautifully with asparagus in all preparations, pan-fried fish such as pike-perch or monkfish, and light poultry. Also an excellent choice with pasta in cream sauces, risotto or mild goat’s cheese. The magnum is perfect for larger gatherings and develops additional complexity with cool storage over two to three years.
