{"title":"Philip Lardot","description":"\u003cp\u003ePhilip Lardot was born in Finland, grew up in Amsterdam, moved to Copenhagen to work for a natural wine importer, then went to Burgundy for a harvest before landing in Clemens Busch's vineyard in Moselle. He never left. With wife Rosalie Curtin, he farms five hectares on Moselle's steep slopes as a natural wine producer. The project is small, serious, and built on a path that wandered across Europe before finding its true home in German terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"philip-lardot-riesling-der-bauer-2022-750ml","title":"Philip Lardot, Riesling Der Bauer, 2022","description":"\u003cp\u003eAre you a wine geek? Have you ever debated the merits of Mosel and Chablis? Ever hypothetically imagined Riesling grown in Chablis, or Chardonnay grown on the steep slopes of the Mosel? Well great, because we've got your answer: Der Bauer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a mind-bending, soulful expression of Sankt Aldegunder Himmelreich, crafted through an entirely new lens. It clearly evokes the best parts of Chablis - lobster tail, lemon, cream, and then raises the bar with the crackling energy of first rate Riesling, with the salty, slatey minerality of a top Mosel vineyard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStoney and pithy, with a steely sharp core of acidity, a forceful amount of tension, buffered with a slightly rounder mid palate from extended lees aging and then perfectly coalesced, thanks to 22 months in used tonneaux. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDer Bauer or \"The Farmer\" is a nod to the villagers of vineyard. Lardot and Curtin have 7 parcels here ranging from an estimated 60-100 year old, all un-grafted vines, with fruit trees and vegetable gardens scattered throughout.

Ulli Stein, the majority owner of the vineyard has painstakingly cared for this incredible, under-rated, Grand Cru quality site for decades. He was always considered a maverick, bucking the norms of the systems, and fighting the archaic rules of the German governments. Stein's winemaking was also radical for a time, as he crafted some of the first, and arguably the best dry wines in the Mosel, while his peers leaned in to the residual sugar. Which makes Stein Wine Palmberg-Terrassen is the benchmark of the vineyard and for dry Riesling in the Mosel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDie Winzerin is the flip side of the same coin, or what you get once you break all the other Mosel boundaries and want to see the site with a little artifice as possible, using totally non-traditional techniques. It is bone dry, crackling with energy and acidity. Cold blue and gray slate minerality oozes out of the wine, with barely perceptible whispers of lemon, lime pith and golden apple. There is a shockingly severe steely edge to this wine, that we expect to slightly soften with some more time in bottle, but for now makes the wine feel like a laser pointer across your palate. There is depth and breadth to this wine, as there should be from such an incredible vineyard, but it has turned out even more stunning than expected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom a tiny .3 hectare plot, this is the crown jewel of their holdings. Named in honor of the many unnamed women who have worked these terraces for centuries. It is aged for 22 months in tonneau, and only racked once at the 18 month mark. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vom Boden [VBD]","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44845036699705,"sku":"NYC-3-VBD-`VB321722`-090525-5","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0125\/1518\/0601\/files\/Philip-Lardot-Riesling-Die-Winzerin-2022-White-Wine-Flatiron-Wines-Spirits-New-York.jpg?v=1769611724"}],"url":"https:\/\/nyc.flatiron-wines.com\/collections\/philip-lardot.oembed","provider":"Flatiron Wines \u0026 Spirits NYC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
