and subtle earth—wrapped in fine tannins and fresh acidity

with only ~10% new oak to maintain purity and focus

and an elegant finish

2023 Weingut Wasenhaus Filzen Chardonnay 1.5L Magnum Baden, Germany Philip Lardot 2018 Domaine Denis Bachelet Charmes-ChambertinA Chardonnay from steep slopes, western orientated, worked mainly manual and grown on limestone clay soil in Kirchhofen. Bunches got pressed as whole clusters, fermented in 1 600L damy barrel. Aged for one year on the full lees in barrel and another half year in stainless steel on its entire lees. This is a younger german clone with a bit more aromatics thus is a fresher style compared to Hohlen.
