Philipp Kuhn Chardonnay Laumersheimer Reserve dry

A Chardonnay from the Palatinate that sets Burgundian standards – and succeeds. Philipp Kuhn's Laumersheimer Reserve demonstrates what happens when one of the best vineyard sites in the Mittelhaardt region meets consistent craftsmanship.

The Philipp Kuhn winery in Laumersheim has been one of the most reliable wineries in the Palatinate for years. The family cultivates their vineyards with great attention to harvest time and grape quality – the Reserve line represents the best parcels and the most meticulous winemaking. The Chardonnay matures in French barriques, which gives the wine structure and depth without dominating it.

In the glass, it displays ripe Williams pear, yellow apple, and a hint of orange peel, underpinned by a touch of walnut and a mineral note that invigorates the palate. The oak aging imparts a creamy texture and subtle smoky aromas on the finish – long, dry, with good acidity balance.

Serving temperature: 12–14 °C. Pairs well with veal medallions in cream sauce, lobster, scallops, or a mature Comté cheese. Also a good choice with creamy risotto variations. Drinking window: now until 2028.
