A. Christmann
Although he is the current president of Germany's VDP, Steffen Christmann maintains a low profile. He is more interested in allowing his wines to speak than in basking in the limelight himself. Since the 2009 vintage, all of his wines are of certified biodynamic provenance. Less showy in their youth perhaps than they once were, they age even better, coming into their prime only three or four years after the vintage. In particular, the Idig is a long-distance runner and regularly stands out in my "ten years after" tastings. In terms of value for money, though, look to the Olberg from the same village. It is generally the finest of his "premier crus" and is often as good as many Grosses Gewachs from the region at only a fraction of the price. Also recommended: 2010 Gimmeldinger Biengarten Weissburgunder Trocken (85), 2011 Konigsbacher Riesling Trocken (85), 2011 Konigsbacher Riesling Trocken (85), 2011 Konigsbacher Kapellenberg Riesling Trocken (86), 2011 Konigsbacher Olberg Riesling Trocken (90), 2009 Spatburgunder (86), 2009 Konigsbacher Olberg Spatburgunder (87), 2009 Konigsbacher Idig Spatburgunder Grosses Gewachs (88). Other wines tasted: 2011 Weissburgunder, 2011 Riesling Trocken.
