Schlumberger Riesling Selection de Grains Nobles Cuvee Ernest

The Riesling is the Rhine vine variety par excellence. Different from its German cousin, it was introduced in the region by the end of 15th century. This exceptional vintage produced in 1945, 1971, 1999, 2007 and 2009 is a tribute to M. Ernest Schlumberger who acquired 2500 new vineyard parcels and reorganized the vineyards between 1910 and 1925.

Winemaker notes

The robe is a golden yellow with green reflections of a beautiful intensity. The disk is bright and limpid. Legs are beautiful and thick. The nose is complex, expressive with notes of candied citrus fruit, ripe grapefruit and crystallized fruit. Airing reveals more honeyed aromas, yellow fruits. The onset is rich, silky but remains fresh and elegant. The middle mouth is built around this roundness and this delicate fruit. In the finish, the wine is powerful but not heavy, in true harmony with its terroir whose characteristics give it an extraordinary dimension.
