Domaine Schlumberger Grand Cru Kitterle Pinot Gris 

This is a richly expressive Pinot Gris from Alsace’s Grand Cru Kitterle vineyard, made by Domaine Schlumberger. The estate has been family-run since 1810 and is one of Alsace’s most respected producers. The Kitterle site is steep, terraced and volcanic, producing wines with great concentration and ageing potential.

Grapes are hand-harvested and fermented in large oak tuns, then aged on lees for several months. The result is a wine with generous ripeness and integrated sweetness. This is a wine for those who enjoy opulent, fruit-driven whites with depth and character.

• Domaine Schlumberger Grand Cru Kitterle Pinot Gris opens with aromas of quince, Mirabelle plum, honey and white flowers.
• The palate is full and semi-sweet, with notes of apricot, peach skin, mushroom and a delicate smoky edge.
• Finishes long and clean with a fine bitterness that balances the richness beautifully.

Pairs well with soft washed-rind cheeses, tandoori pork or a poultry pie with leeks.
