From a very early, rather cold vintage according to Séverine Schlumberger, the 2017 Riesling Le Clos Saint-Léger Grand Cru Monopole offers a clear, fresh, pure, subtle and finely mineral or stony bouquet representing the volcanic terroir of the Grand Cru Kitterlé. The wine shows very delicate and elegant Riesling fruit intermingled with crunchy stone aromas. On the palate, this is a pure, dense, straight and textural Riesling with good and refreshing phenolic grip that gives persistent tension. The structured finish is intense and long. This is an excellent wine from Schlumberger. 13.77% alcohol.

Talk about typicity. This wine is exactly what you want from an Alsace Pinot Gris. The nose is juicy apple, slate, steel and white blossoms. On the palate, this wine is lively with acidity, but there's an apple-pie softness and weight to it. Savory notes of fines herbes and mild hard cheese provide balance into a lingering saline finish. Full of culinary goodness, this is a wine to pair with just about any vegetable, fish or poultry dish.

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.
