2019 Domaines Schlumberger Riesling Saering Grand Cru

Product description

“This has the more creamy richness of an Alsace Riesling (compared with most German Rieslings, generalisation alert), more creamy than stony/mineral notes, and it is already showing some evolution and thus aromatic complexity along with the citrus-lime fruit. A touch of kerosene-like tertiary flavour. This has the texture that makes it slightly chewy and mouth-filling, and has the fruit intensity for a really substantial wine. Very deep and very long.” - 17.5/20, Jancis Robinson

First mentioned in 1250, the Saering plot slips from the hill and extends like a peninsula on the plain, forming a sort of tongue of land in the form of a ring. It has been sold under its own since 1830. To the north of Guebwiller, Saering faces east and south-east at an altitude of ranging from 260 to 300 meters. The Saering marl, limestone, and sandstone terroir brings out the best in this magnificent, fine, delicate Riesling.
