Riesling Grand Cru Kessler AC Alsace Grand Cru 0.75L

The Kessler is one of the most independent Grand Cru sites in Alsace: a wind-protected hollow with sandy-loamy soils that gives the Riesling even ripening and unusual substance. Domaines Schlumberger has been cultivating the largest contiguous Grand Cru areas in Alsace for generations and is thus one of the few companies that can exploit these sites in their full depth.

In the glass, the Riesling shows a clear, precise structure: aromas of white peach and citrus zest, underlaid by a mineral, almost chalky tone that is typical of the sandy-loamy geology of the Kessler. The palate is taut, the acidity well integrated, the finish long and salty. Vinified dry, without the fruit receding.

Good with Alsatian tarte flambée, with fried zander with butter sauce, or with mild goat cheese. Drinking temperature: 10–12 °C.

The Domaine

Domaines Schlumberger

Domaines Schlumberger from Guebwiller in the southern Alsace has been family-owned since 1810 and is one of the most important wineries in France. Today, the seventh generation runs the house: Séverine and Thomas Schlumberger manage around 140 hectares of vineyards – the largest contiguous AOC winery in Alsace, 70 hectares of which are in four Grand Cru sites.

On steep slopes with a gradient of up to 50 percent, maintained with draft horses and over 50 kilometers of stone retaining walls, wines with great depth are created. Schlumberger presses only its own grapes and deliberately produces only half of what the law would allow.
