Weingut Knipser Chardonnay *** (4x 2007, 1x 2011)

Parker zu 2011: Fermented and aged in new barrels for almost one year and four years in the bottle, the 2011 Chardonnay trocken *** is intense and spicy on the nose, very clear, fresh, chalky, dense and with some new oak flavors and ripe peach aromas. Rich, very juicy and salty on the palate, this is a very elegant and firmly structured Chardonnay full of refreshing vitality. The wine has a compact structure and a highly complex finish; it is very pure and salty, full of vitality and grip, as well as very pure and aromatic in the finish. A gorgeous wine and Meursault-killer from the northern Pfalz. 93+/100
