Golden yellow in colour with hints of green, this Pinot Gris offers a bouquet of ripe fruit and fruit compote, yellow fruits, golden apple, quince, Mirabelle plum, orgeat syrup and this characteristic smokiness. On the palate the wine is soft and fleshy with a slight roundness. The finish is fresh filled with orgeat syrup, yellow fruits, honey, button mushrooms. Well-balanced and pure.

The grapes come from the locality of Schimberg situated in the valley of Guebwiller, on volcanic subsoil, benefitting from a south facing exposure. It is often considered as corresponding to a Bordeaux “2nd” wine.

Now run by the 6^th and 7^th generations, Domaines Schlumberger was founded in 1810 by Nicolas Schlumberger, who established vineyards on the renowned slopes above the town of Guebwiller. These vineyard sites have a history of viticulture, having been planted since 207AD. Through successive generations the holding has grown to be one of France’s largest and finest domaines.
