Vintage Report

2022 was een goed jaar voor de Elzas, gekenmerkt door een warm en droog groeiseizoen. Dit resulteerde in rijpe druiven met goede concentratie, terwijl de frisheid behouden bleef.

Nestled in the heart of Alsace, we find the beautiful family winery Domaines Schlumberger. This winery has a long history, as the German Claus Schlumberger arrived in Alsace as early as the sixteenth century. He established his estate in Guebwiller, but unfortunately, he didn't enjoy it for long because the region was dominated by the monks known as "The Princes Abbés." He moved to another town, where he passed his estate on to his son, Nicolas Schlumberger. In 1810, he built wine cellars and purchased a twenty-hectare vineyard that would later produce his renowned wines. Nicolas also had many children, nine to be precise, with Jean Schlumberger taking over the reins from his father. The family's love for Alsace is strong, and today, everything is still run by the Schlumberger family.

The old Riesling vineyard of Domaines Schlumberger

The Riesling grapes are very important to the Schlumberger family and are grown in the Bollenberg region. They are found in the Saering and Kessler vineyards, as well as a small portion in the young Kitterlé vineyard. Each of these vineyards contributes to this Riesling. The unique climate in the vineyards—plenty of sunshine, cool breezes, and incredibly rich soil structure—gives Domaines Schlumberger a powerful and full harvest. The extensive dedication of the entire team in the vineyards makes this vineyard truly unique. At the perfect ripeness, the Riesling grapes are harvested entirely by hand. Each grape is individually inspected, with only the finest bunches being used for this white Domaines Schlumberger Riesling Les Princes Abbes.

The aroma and taste of the Schlumberger Riesling

Once the Riesling grapes are pressed, the entire juice is aged for a full eight months on the lees. This gives it strength and soft aromas and flavors. Upon opening the bottle, we immediately smell a powerful and refined aroma of exotic fruit. Grab a large glass to release all the flavors and aromas, and as we pour, we see a golden yellow color with green glints. With our noses held high, we detect powerful aromas of yuzu peel, lemon, exotic fruits, and a touch of spice. The palate is round and very refined, with a slight, tingling mousse that creates a true sensation in the mouth. We noted notes of exotic fruit, citrus peel, and, of course, peach and spice. What a superb Alsace Riesling this white wine from Schlumberger is.
