2022 Domaine Allimant-Laugner Riesling

The Allimant-Laugner Riesling is a true Alsace (or Elzas) Riesling, so from the AOC Alsace. Vinified with indigenous yeasts at low temperatures for 8 weeks and matured on fine lees for 7 months. The Riesling grapes come from granite soil where the grapes have to work quite hard. This wine has the typical Riesling nose with lemon aromas and a tense and fresh palate and some tones of gravel and lime. The Allimant-Laugner Riesling is wonderfully dry with a controlled alcohol percentage with very handsome acids which makes this a gastronomically great wine but also perfect as an aperitif so delicious with fish, white meat and chicken but we especially enjoy it as a standalone glass because with only 3.7 gr/l sugar and an acidity of 6.2g/l and an alcohol percentage of 12.7% this is a wine that never bores and with a few years of aging gets those wonderful typical Riesling tones with a tiny hint of petroleum as it should.

ABOUT DOMAINE ALLIMANT-LAUGNER

The origins of Domaine Allimant-Laugner begin with 2 families who have cultivated the vineyards since the 17th century, the Laugners in the village of Dieffenthal and the Allimants in Saint-Hippolyte. In 1816 and after participating in all of Napoleon's campaigns, Captain François-Antoine Allimant bought more vines on the hills of Haut-Koenigsbourg and a beautiful farmhouse from 1664 in the village of Orschwiller, the current property of the domaine. Like most families, the Allimants still made a living from growing multiple crops but chose to focus more on wine with Charles Allimant, who began bottling his wine in 1949 and developed their distribution with his daughter Mariette and her husband René Laugner. Their eldest son Hubert took over in 1984, giving the domaine its real fame together with his wife Françoise, and since 2013 with their son Nicolas. The family manages Domaine Allimant-Laugner as a beautiful heritage for more than 10 generations.

The privilege of a product of this unique authentic terroir also gives a responsible and therefore Domaine Allimant-Laugner works naturally with the greatest respect for the environment. All tasks are (pruning, picking, maintenance) and also because through close contact with the vines it is better understood what the needs are. In order to control the power of the vines well and to preserve the ecosystem, they mainly work with alternating ploughed and grassy rows. In the cellar too, modernity and tradition must be well balanced to produce precise and fine wines, but with a minimal human and ecological footprint. They work with a brand new pneumatic press and stainless steel tanks with temperature control and fermentation takes place only with natural yeasts. The foundation is laid in the unique vineyards that have been managed by the family for 10 generations. With respect and modernity, Domaine Allimant-Laugner makes great wines.
