Lauer’s Neuenberg is one of the most curious, most complex wines he makes. As always with Lauer, the terroir is to blame.
The “Neuenberg” too slimmed down a lot this year; in fact, it is for the second time only it is dry, with only 2 grams of residual sugar. The wine is sourced from a cherry parcel in the Grand Cru Kupp, one that sees the cool morning sun as well as the warmer afternoon sun and, situated as it is at the bottom of the slope, it can often have a bit of mist or fog lingering about.
Thus we have in Neuenberg one of Florian’s most dazzling wines. It is luxurious and textural and glycerin-rich and layered. It is the Saar’s response to the generosity and exoticism of a wine like Meursault Genevrieres. A good decant or a few years in the cellar can do a lot bring out the depth of this wine. Pair with a ****ing steak.

| Mosel Fine Wines | The 2024 Neuenberg N°17, as it is referred to in the central part of the label, is a bone-dry wine (with 2 g/l of residual sugar) made from fruit harvested in this prime Lieu-Dit forming the south-southwest facing, central part of the original Kupp hill (at the foot of the hill). This cask sample still shows a quite primary yet very attractive and complex nose of smoke, candied grapefruit, violet, minty herbs, smoke, and bergamot. The wine is very precise and focused on the delicately complex and layered palate. It is even taut, very long, and smoky. This is a very impressive dry Riesling in the making. | No 76 July 2025 |
