Domaines Schlumberger Riesling Les Princes Abbes

The robe is lemon yellow with green reflections, of good intensity. The disc is shiny, limpid and transparent. The wine presents youth. The nose is frank, pleasant, of good intensity. We smell a dominant scent of citrus fruits, lemon, white flowers and a fine underlying smoky touch. Aeration amplifies these odors and reveals lemon zest, fine vegetal, lemongrass and a pronounced mineral register of gas. The excellent quality of the raw material exalts a distinguished profile, marked by the terroir. At this stage of evolution, it is remarkable. The attack on the palate is slender, the alcohol support balanced. We evolve on a sharp medium, marked by pearling. We find the range of aromas of the nose, focused on citrus fruits, lemon zest, lemon, fine vegetal, lemongrass, white flowers and always, implicitly, this smoky mineral register. We feel a hint of bitterness. The finish has a good length, 7-8 caudalies, as well as a frank vivacity and a fine persistent bitterness. The balance is tense, incisive. The range of noble, racy aromas marks a beautiful mineral definition.
