Weingut Peter Lauer

Cold and mineral-rich but with sun that makes Rieslings as succulent as they are perfectly seasoned with salt and racy acidity. Peter Lauer makes some of our very favorite Saar wines. He’s best known for his forward-leaning dry wines.

Description

Peter Lauer Cremant Grand Reserve Brut 2002

Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Riesling from the Saar

Taste Profile: This rarity matured on the lees for 20 years to reach the point where the spicy ripeness of honey and incense forms a perfect balance with the still lively fruit of youth. The result is a powerful play of aromas. Our recommendation for beef, game or strong meat dishes. Unfortunately there are very few bottles of this beauty left.

Complex & Classic Sparklings

From buttery brioche to baked apple and toast, this style encapsulates vintage Champagnes and other aged sparkling wines from around the world

Methode Champenoise

The key element of the traditional method is secondary fermentation in the bottle, often achieved by adding a liqueur de tirage to the base wine. The end result is a soft, fine bubly mouthfeel
