Domaines Schlumberger Le 'S' de Schlumberger NV

Domaines Schlumberger Le 'S' de Schlumberger NV: Current release. A lovely nose, full of lychee and elderflower freshness, seemingly dominated by Gewurztraminer although the wine is in fact a multi-vintage blend led by Pinot Blanc, with Riesling and Gewurztraminer playing second fiddle. Fresh, slightly fat on entry, with moderate acidity. More like Pinot Blanc on the palate, with fresh white fruits and less of the perfume evident on the nose. Clean, slightly oily finish, with a short bitter-quinine length. Exuberant, typically Alsatian, and deliciously easy to drink, especially on a summers day. 16.5/20 (20/6/03)
