This wine is all business on the nose, with stony aromas and a spritz of lemon. The palate is similarly focused and driven. Lemon-lime acidity drives taut minerality in this light-bodied sip. The finish is long and saline, with tangy Granny Smith notes giving it some lift. Pair with creamy cheeses for a refreshing palate-cleanse.

Very vibrant with a wide spectrum of garden herb aromas plus all the shades of apple and crisp pear. Exciting interplay of ripeness and very crisp acidity on the medium- to full-bodied palate. Very zesty finish with pronounced minerality. Drink or hold.

“Wonderfully ripe and generous with plenty of yellow fruit, this is a very sensual dry riesling that flows gracefully over the palate. Almost a Burgundian texture in the middle, but the citrusy freshness at the long, salty finish is distinctly northern. Drinkable now, but best from 2025.”

Lovely maturing nose of ripe peach and candied citrus peel with toasty, herbal and licorice complexity. Rich and generous, but impeccably balanced on the silky palate, where the mineral freshness builds steadily as the finish extends and extends. The first vintage of this wine. Drink or hold.

Schlumberger's 2020 Pinot Gris Les Princes Abbés opens with a clear and aromatic bouquet of fully ripe seed fruits intertwined with frankincense notes. Full-bodied, round and lush on the palate, with ripe and generous but elegant fruit, this is a dense and finely tannic Pinot Gris with stimulating lemon bitters on the finish. It has good substance and mineral grip. 13.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in February 2023.
