Domaines Schlumberger Riesling Les Princes Abbes 2022 (750ml)

Alsace stands apart among French regions for bottling its Riesling dry and varietally pure, and this Les Princes Abbées from Domaines Schlumberger is squarely in that tradition. It is a still white, fully fermented to bone-dryness, from the 2022 vintage. The Les Princes Abbées line is the house's introduction to its range, made to show the grape in a clear, unadorned way.

The nose is fresh and gently perfumed, lemon zest lifted by a faintly green, mossy note. The palate follows through dry and bright, light on its feet but linear, with a citrus thread that runs straight to a mouth-watering, persistent finish. A wine built on tension and clarity rather than weight.
