Florian Lauer is absolutely amazing! Seriously, his talent is off the charts. You know those people who just radiate creativity and passion? That's him, full throttle! And guess what? We're all lucky to witness it! Picture this: cruising into the picturesque Saar Valley after the breathtaking Mosel in the heart of winter. The scenery alone is enough to make you swoon, but then you stumble upon Florian's vineyards, and suddenly you're transported to the enchanting hills of Burgundy. And let me tell you, Ayler Kupp? That's Florian's Corton right there!
Now, get this: Florian's latest project is nothing short of epic. He's reviving this ancient hillside called Lambertskirch, which used to be this legendary vineyard back in the day. And get this: it's just a stone's throw away from his iconic “Schoenfels” vineyard! Talk about prime real estate! He's planning to plant Riesling there, using the cream of the crop from his own vines. I mean, talk about dedication!
And when it comes to his wines? Oh boy, they're like precision instruments! Think German engineering meets Swiss precision. Each sip is like a symphony of flavors, perfectly balanced with a touch of that unmistakable terroir. His “Saarfeilser” and “Kern” wines? They're like the Ferraris of the wine world, with flavors that just go on and on!
But here's the kicker: when I visited, Florian pulled out these bottles for tasting, and guess what? Most of them were already opened! Can you believe it? And yet, they were still mind-blowingly good! I mean, we're talking wines that were opened before Christmas, and here I am tasting them in January, and they're still knocking my socks off! That's the mark of a true master!
Let me tell you, Peter Lauer's estate is the stuff of legends now! These wines? They've got a cult following, and for good reason! And with the 2010 harvest being so tiny, you gotta get your hands on these gems before they're all gone! Trust me, if Florian's wines sound like your kind of thing, you do not want to miss out!
