Riesling Le Clos Saint-Léger Grand Cru Kitterlé AC Alsace Grand Cru 0.75L

A Riesling that shows what single vineyard means: concentrated, mineral, with the typical tension of a great Alsatian vintage.

The Le Clos Saint-Léger vineyard lies in the heart of the Grand Cru Kitterlé—one of Alsace's most distinctive sites. Domaines Schlumberger, the region's largest privately owned winery with over 140 hectares, planted this south-facing terrace with Riesling in 1995. The soil is light, sandy, and volcanic: a subsoil that retains heat, stresses the vines, and concentrates aromas.

In the glass, the 2019 vintage displays ripe citrus fruit—lime, grapefruit—alongside peach and a delicate hint of dried apricot. The acidity is present but integrated; the finish is long, saline, and with a subtle minerality reminiscent of damp stone. It is dry, with the weight imparted by the vineyard site and the warm vintage.

Best served at 10–12 °C . Drinking window until 2030 and beyond. Pairs well with crayfish in butter sauce, pike-perch fillet on Riesling risotto, or a mature Munster with caraway.
