2011 Spätburgunder CS*** Weiler Schlipf, Weingut Claus Schneider, Baden
Claus Schneider’s ‘Tristar’ represents the 1er Cru in his collection. Stemming from the limestone rich parcel of the vineyard and using whole-bunch fermentation to embody elegance and finesse this is Chambolle-Musigny in all but name. Scented, savoury, wonderful Pinot Noir; not only does it live up to the grape’s potential, but epitomises the gentle, elegant weightlessness achieved by the top producers. Astonishing value for money.
