ABOUT THE WINE

Domaines Schlumberger harvest grapes from their own vineyards and are entirely dedicated to quality which is achieved through deliberately producing very restricted yields per hectare.

The planting and judicious choice of grape varieties, pruning the vines, constantly surveying the grapes as they ripen, the precious care that they are given enable a strict selection to be made during harvesting. Each plot, or even each bunch of grapes, will only be picked if it is completely ripe.

A blend of 30% Pinot Blanc (that are mainly comes from Saering and Spiegel Grand Cru and Bux and Bollenberg) and 70% Auxerrois. Pressed pneumatically. Static settling of the must. Fermented in temperature controlled tuns from 1 to 4 months. Raised on the lees for 4 months. Bottled within the years.

Tasting Notes
Pinot Blanc is beautifully made and has a dry character, well-balanced, dry and fresh on the palate.

"Deceptively graceful at first, with a Burgundian-like perfume, this quickly delivers a torrent of fruit - blackberry, boysenberry and black currant - that cascades over itself, pushed from behind by flavors of mocha, mineral, tar and violets. Long, sweet and pure through a densely structured finish. Best from 2008 through 2030."
