Domaines Schlumberger 1999 Cuvée Clarisse Sélection de Grains Nobles Pinot Gris (Alsace)
-
$83
A pure, beautifully structured wine, with layers of dry botrytis delicately time, a great balancing act, and it manages to retain varietal character, hard to do with sweet wines. Imported by Maisons Marques & Domaines USA.

This Pinot Gris shows sweetness, some honey but also a fine mineral structure, which promises aging at least for 10 years. Imported by Maisons Marques & Domaines USA.

$36
With a few years’ aging, this is beginning to show its almond and toast side. The fresh acidity is now melding beautifully into a soft, ripe texture with layers of spice and acidity. Certainly worth aging further.

Domaines Schlumberger 2000 Vendages Tardives Cuvée Laure Pinot Gris (Alsace)
-
$67
Everything that’s good about late-harvest Pinot Gris is captured in this wine from the Kessler vineyard. The apricot and peach aromas are powerful, but it’s the acid-based nectarine, honey and maple flavors that really make the point. Clear and focused throughout.

Rich and sweet, very soft in texture, a wine that is beautifully ripe and broad. It has a dry core of toast, pepper, with raisins and a final hint of acidity.

While most varietal character is gone, this wine does show an explosion of ripe, honeyed sweetness, with a rich, liquorous texture. There is spice, bergamot, dried apricot in a smooth and opulent coating.

Domaines Schlumberger 2007 Kitterlé Grand Cru Le Brise Mollets Pinot Gris (Alsace)
-
$46
Sweet and rich wine, preserving some exciting acidity. That makes the currant and fig flavors well in balance with a smoky character, touched by toast. A very elegant wine that also projects concentration.
