Vintage Character Hailing from one of Guebwiller’s most revered limestone terroirs, the 2022 Domaines Schlumberger Riesling Grand Cru Saering exemplifies pure class and precision. The 2022 vintage experienced a warm, sun-drenched summer that allowed for pristine physiological ripeness while cool night breezes preserved vital natural acidity. Perched on a steep, south-east facing hillside, the Saering vineyard features a unique soil profile of chalky sandstone and marl that imparts remarkable mineral depth and tension to the grapes.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing The bouquet opens with aromatic Meyer lemon, crisp green apple, white peach, and delicate elderflower nuances backed by a distinct flinty undertone. On the palate, a silky yet crystalline texture unfolds into pure citrus drive and structured tension, leading to a long, mouthwatering saline finish. This expressive dry Riesling pairs seamlessly with pan-seared sea scallops in beurre blanc, roasted monkfish, or steamed Cantonese sea bass with ginger and scallions.
