Parker about Chardonnay Reserve 2022
The 2022 Chardonnay Réserve is pure, fresh and intense on the clear and chalky, even slightly flinty and wonderfully precise and stimulating nose. Elegant and juicy on the palate, this is a powerful and rich but also tight and complex, sustainably mineral and finely tannic Chardonnay that represents the upper Morstein terroir at 260 meters in altitude. From 16-year-old vines, this is by far Gesine Weedenborn's finest and stylistically most independent Chardonnay, although it still needs a year or two to refine and intermingle the tannins even better. 13% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in August 2024.
Suckling over Chardonnay Reserve 2022
Here is the citrusy side of chardonnay in a simultaneously fresh and noble form with notes of mandarin orange and orange blossom aromas. Tremendous flinty and chalky intensity on the sleek yet powerful palate. Wonderful depth and drive at the very focused finish. From the highest altitude section of the Morstein GG site. Fermented and matured in mostly 500 liter oak casks sur lie for 18 months. Drink from release. Stuart Pigott Senior Editor

Chardonnay Reserve 2022
The 2022 Chardonnay Réserve from Weingut Weedenborn is an impressive Burgundy-style Chardonnay that combines power, elegance, and fine minerality at the highest level. The grapes come from the best chalky vineyards in Rheinhessen and are vinified with great care. The nose unfolds a complex bouquet of ripe yellow fruits such as quince and mirabelle plum, accompanied by delicate citrus notes, roasted hazelnuts, and elegant hints of vanilla and brioche, created by the careful use of oak. On the palate, the wine is creamy and profound, with a precise structure supported by a fine, well-integrated acidity. The subtle reduction and pronounced salty minerality add additional tension, while the long, elegant finish is accompanied by subtle roasted aromas and a delicate spiciness. A characterful, terroir-influenced Chardonnay that impresses with its complexity and longevity and is an excellent accompaniment to rich fish dishes, shellfish or mature cheese.
