The 2022 Bassermann-Jordan Langenmorgen Weisser Burgunder Grosses Gewachs, also known as Weissburgunder, is a white wine hailing from the Pfalz region of Germany, specifically from the Deidesheim sub-region in the Langenmorgen appellation. Produced by the esteemed Bassermann-Jordan winery, this wine is sealed with a traditional cork closure.
Crafted from the Weissburgunder varietal, also known as Pinot Blanc, this wine embodies the characteristics of its terroir. The soil composition includes loam, loamy sand, sandstone, and limestone debris, which significantly influence the wine's profile. The 2022 vintage was fermented and aged in second-use Stück, a type of large oak barrel, which contributes to its unique flavor.
Anne Krebiehl MW from Vinous reviewed this wine on December 22, 2023, and gave it a commendable score of 91. She describes the wine as having a "slight oak creaminess" immediately apparent on the nose, a result of its fermentation and aging process. The palate is noted for being "rounded and creamy in its slenderness," a balance that showcases the wine's finesse. Krebiehl points out the "lemon brightness" that counters the oak influence, adding a refreshing element to the wine's smooth, textured body. This contrast is further enhanced by a "touch of saltiness" on the finish, which she describes as bone-dry.
The 2022 Bassermann-Jordan Langenmorgen Weisser Burgunder Grosses Gewachs is a well-structured and elegantly balanced wine. Its creamy texture, coupled with bright lemon notes and a subtle salty finish, makes it a noteworthy choice for those seeking a refined white wine experience. The high score from Vinous underscores its quality and the skill of the Bassermann-Jordan winery in crafting wines that reflect their unique terroir.
