Impeccably crafted by Domaines Schlumberger, established vineyard virtuosos in the Alsace region, the Schlumberger Riesling Grand Cru Saering 2017 is an exemplar embodiment of its terroir. With complete estate control - from grape growth to bottling - the attention to detail shines through in every sip. Made in the French Alps, this 2017 vintage was created using traditional methods. Grapes were hand-picked, then whole bunches were pressed slowly to extract the juice, following which fermentation occurred in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats. Sublime and distinct, the Schlumberger Riesling Grand Cru Saering 2017 presents a rich nose with nuances of delicate flowers, minerality, and dried fruits. On the palate, it seamlessly unifies freshness and mellowness, revealing balanced acidity and a remarkable finish. Inheriting Schlumberger's legacy of over 200 vintages, this wine marvelously manifests their commitment to consistent excellence, epitomising the pinnacle in Riesling production. |

The Schlumberger Riesling Princes Abbes 2017 is a spectacular vintage from Alsace; a jewel in the crown of one of France's oldest winemaking houses, Domaines Schlumberger. Synonymous with extraordinary quality, the Schlumberger family has nurtured this land since 1810, exploiting the distinctive 'garrigue' terroir to yield exceptionally concentrated grapes. The 2017 is characterised by an invigorating minerality and elegant, high-tone citrus elements. Its aroma envelops the senses with an impression of green apple, lime peel, and hints of honeysuckle. Patient maturation in large, old oak casks imparts a delicate richness and remarkable complexity into this wine. Schlumberger Riesling Princes Abbes 2017 demonstrates the characteristic dry Riesling profile, harmoniously marrying a bracing acidity with the subtle whispers of residual sweetness. Whether savoured as an aperitif or enjoyed alongside grilled seafood, this wine promises a drinking experience that reflects the expertise and dedication of the Schlumberger heritage. |

Vinous (96)Vivid straw-green with gold highlights. Highly aromatic on the nose, revealing hints of pear, lime, white pepper, candied ginger, quince and even raspberry. Enters sweet, then turns more austere and piercing. The penetrating, long, very suave finish offers complex, concentrated flavors similar to the aromas. That rare note of raspberry repeats in the mouth. A readier-to-drink CSH than usual, but it will age well. The Clos has been organically farmed since eight years ago, and I while I am very careful about making blanket statements on this subject, I think that the wines are now even better than they were before. Whether it’s the organic farming or not, I don’t know, but the possible connection is intriguing, to say the least. |

Vinous (95+)Bright straw. Clean, vibrantly mineral and racy aromas and flavors of green apple, pear and lime. Ripe yet brightly acidic, this exhibits a penetrating quality on the long, juicy, ginger- and mineral-accented finish. Very compact, dense and still youthful Riesling. Outstanding. |
