Keywords : Pure / Fruity / Mineral

The wine : The Riesling Les Princes Abbés from Domaines Schlumberger brilliantly embodies the elegance and precision of the finest white wines of Alsace. Sourced from the hillsides around the village of Guebwiller, it captivates from the very first nose with its precise aromas of lemon and grapefruit, enhanced by delicate floral notes (orange blossom, honeysuckle) and an elegant mineral touch. On the palate, the attack is lively and saline, supported by beautiful tension and a chiselled texture, offering a remarkable balance between freshness and aromatic expression. A Riesling that will be just as comfortable as an aperitif as it is at the table, perfect for accompanying fish, seafood, Asian cuisine, or fresh cheeses, and capable of evolving harmoniously over a few years.
