The Neustadt "V" Weissburgunder impresses with an elegant, mineral nose with flint notes and juicy fruit, including pear, apple, almond, honey, and lime zest. On the palate, it displays lively fruit, fresh acidity, and an elegant structure thanks to the light tannins. The finish is long, salty, and precise. The shell limestone soil lends it minerality and freshness.
2024: James Suckling: 95/100 "The red apple aromas make this dry pinot blanc stand out, but it is also a sleek and very fresh wine with an almost alpine personality. Super-focused, medium-bodied palate, then a very long, racy finish with great precision. The first vintage of this wine."
Fresh apples, delicate floral aromas, harmonious minerality
A nearly hot March with very early bud break, followed by a cold and very changeable April and an unusually nasty May with a high risk of late frost. Everything hangs in the balance – with a bit of luck, we'll be spared. The summer is a bit like it used to be, with sufficient, almost abundant rain without any major heat waves. The start to autumn is very warm – almost sweltering at night. The harvest begins somewhat hesitantly but quickly picks up speed, ending in October (October 5th) for the first time in a long time.
