The 2023 Lay Purus is an impressive Riesling grown in an old, south-facing slate vineyard on the Moselle. The vines are 46 years old, densely planted, and deeply rooted in the grey and blue slate soils, from which they must draw water upwards with great energy. These conditions impart a pronounced minerality and a distinctive terroir to the wine.
The 2023 Lay Purus impresses with a delicate, slightly white-blossome aroma. On the palate, a creamy texture unfolds, accompanied by hints of yellow fruit, a subtle herbal note, umami, and a playful elegance. The long finish, reminiscent of an echo in the high mountains, invites a meditative contemplation of this wine.
Despite its depth, the wine remains fresh, with an invigorating drinkability and a majestic serenity that tells stories of the terroir and time.
The 2023 Lay Purus deserves to be savored with devotion in a Zalto glass or similar. This Riesling evokes the great tradition of German Riesling wines and presents itself with elegance and complexity in the glass.
A timeless wine that captures the beauty of Mosel Riesling in a fascinating and authentic way.
