Domaines Schlumberger 2002 Grand Cru Saering Riesling

Editors' Choice

Price $23

Blasts from the glass with intense apple and mineral aromas, followed by full-bodied (but not heavy) flavors on the palate. Picks up a hint of anise in the mouth, then finishes long, with lingering notes of fruit and mineral oil. This explosive wine is drinking well already, but should age gracefully over at least the next 5–7 years. Imported by Maisons Marques &… — J.C. (11/1/2005)

Domaines Schlumberger 1999 Grand Cru Saering Riesling

Editors' Choice
Online Exclusive

Price $22

Golden in color and oily in the nose, with aromas of pineapple, almond extract and petrol. Texture is what this wine offers in spades, that and full pineapple, melon and green apple flavors. Very balanced and offering the right mix of richness, acids and ripe flavors. — M.S. (12/1/2003)

Domaines Schlumberger 2005 Grand Cru Saering Riesling

Price $27

Lighter texture with a clean, citrusy finish, this is a simple quaff made for easy enjoyment. Full of ripe lemon, Granny Smith apple and stone-dust minerality with just a hint of under ripe nectarine. — W.E. (9/1/2007)

Domaines Schlumberger 2000 Grand Cru Saering Gewurztraminer

Price $32

Light, lemony and fairly simple, but all the time fresh and friendly. Tart applealong with honey and lychee carry the palate into a balanced, mouthfilling finish that delivers more texture than flavor. Shows true Gewürz character but not full-force flavor. — M.S. (12/31/2003)
