Domaines Schlumberger Les Princes Abbés Pinot Gris

This is an Alsace Pinot Gris from Domaines Schlumberger, part of the Les Princes Abbés range, which is named after the prince-abbots of Murbach who held extensive vineyards in the region in the Middle Ages. The grapes are grown using sustainable practices. In the glass it is a bright golden yellow. The nose shows ripe pear and melon, white flowers and a hint of sweet spice over a fine minerality. On the palate it is soft and rounded, with ripe fruit balanced by lively acidity and a slight touch of sweetness. The finish is long, clean and refreshing.
