Stunning deep golden color. The opulent and layered nose was the star of this show: terroir-driven earthiness, kerosene, freshly cut shrubbery, honey, seashells, and very ripe peach nectar. The attack was dominated by wet clay and explosive lime juice. The mid-palate had grapefruit pith and slate. The finish was candied lemon peel and pineapples. The acidity was just slightly soft. A medium-full body and a long length.

Nice dry Riesling to have with fish or shellfish. Aromas on lime/lemon and similar flavors. Some pineapple there too. Maybe a bit too lemony, but the acidity goes well with food.

Coming to the end of its life, but just great at the moment. Complex and nicely rounded, very gentle but with some weight at the same time, really nice.

Smooth and rounded, citrus notes with honeyed flavors, mild with a charm, this is an excellent entry level riesling from Domaines Schlumberger.

Golden color, lovely juiciness, honeyed citrus with nice weight on the palate, balanced, very enjoyable.
