Domaines Schlumberger - Gewurztraminer Les Princes Abbés 2023

Keywords : Indulgent / Medium-sweet / Exotic

The wine : The Gewurztraminer Les Princes Abbés from Domaines Schlumberger expresses all the aromatic richness and elegance of this great Alsatian grape variety. The intensely perfumed nose combines indulgent notes of white and exotic fruits (lychee, mango, peach, apricot) with a delightful floral touch (rose). On the palate, the wine is full and generous, supported by a beautiful roundness and silky texture, perfectly balanced by a controlled freshness that avoids any heaviness. An excellent and very pleasant Gewurztraminer, both seductive and harmonious, ideal as an aperitif, with exotic cuisine, spicy dishes, or characterful cheeses.
