Domaines Schlumberger Pinot Gris Les Princes Abbes
* Across any 6 bottles of wine, when purchased in store.
The nose is open, clear. We perceive a smell of honey flowers, Robinia acacia flowers and autumn fruits, quince, Mirabelle plum and Golden apple. Aeration amplifies these odors and reveals delicate honeyed notes. A very pretty nose which demonstrates the beautiful maturity of the grapes.
The attack on the palate is supple, quite ample, the alcohol support provides a nice richness, without excess. We operate in a gourmet, vinous environment. We find the aromas of the nose, always dominated by yellow, ripe, sunny fruits. The finish has a nice length, with freshness and nice suppleness. Very beautiful balance, flattering and firm at the same time, this wine delighted by its delicacy and its power.
Domaines Schlumberger was established in Guebwiller, southern Alsace, in 1810 by Nicolas Schlumberger, with the creation of a textile factory and purchase of 20 hectares of prime vineyard. Three generations later, Ernest Schlumberger saved the historic vineyards ravaged by phylloxera, and purchased several new parcels for replanting. Today 7th generation siblings, Thomas and Severine Schulmberger, farm these 140 hectares of vineyards, 50% of which are Grands Crus (Saering, Kessler, Kitterlé and Spiegel), following biodynamic principles.
