Schlumberger Kessler Gewurztraminer GC 2018

The Domaines Schlumberger Gewurztraminer Grand Cru Kessler originates from the Grand Cru Kessler plot, first distinguished in 1394. Domaines Schlumberger owns 22 hectares of the 29-hectare plot, which lies on a bedrock of Vosges sandstone. A limestone outcrop gives the soil a clay character. The robe is golden yellow with light reflections and of good intensity. Dominated by complex exotic scents: grapefruit, banana, litchi, papaya and flowers (rose). The airing enhances the previous scents and reveals mango, passion fruit, spices and candied ginger. The nose presents a very interesting complexity. The onset in the mouth is dense, fleshy and mellow. The wine evolves on a medium of medium with a frank liveliness, marked by a sparkling note. The superb structure is savory. The rich and mellow body is admirably set against the edge and the refreshing firmness. All bathed in sophisticated aromatic flavors.
