Claus Schneider 2015 Pinot Blanc CS*** [6/750]
Our breath was taken away by the this wine, which hails from the oldest vines of the estate. Suavely elegant, slightly smoky from the élevage in lightly-toasted Allier barrels, this is burgundian in inspiration but resolutely Badisch in effect. The Schlipf really is a fantastically mineral site. World class wine
