Description

Domaines Schlumberger Grand Cru Kessler Riesling

 

The robe is lemon yellow with light green reflections of medium intensity. The disk is bright, limpid and transparent. The wine shows youth.

The nose is marked, pleasant, of good intensity. Sophisticated, we perceive a dominant of fruity (citrus fruits, lime) and spicy (ginger) scents as well as white flowers. The airing enhances and refines these scents. It reveals a ripe and exotic personality : star fruit, white pepper, delicate vegetal and fennel. Despite the perfect state of health and ripening of the grapes, the complex fragrance profile is restraint. Time will be a good ally.

The onset in the mouth is mederately ample, chiselled with a full-bodied alcohol support. The wine evolves on an incisive and lively medium, marked by a sparking note. We find the same aromas as on the nose, still a bit austere, dominated by citrus fruits (lemon zest, lime), spices, ginger, white pepper, delicate vegetal, fennel and an underlying mineral and smoky touch. We perceive a firm hint of bitterness.

The finish has a good length, 7-8 caudalies, a slight astringency and a frank liveliness. The balance shows a lively, precise and vertical structure. Still a bit retained, the profile of this superb terroir needs time to express itself. Patience is keys.
