Domaines Schlumberger - Cuvée Ernest Riesling Alsace Sélection de Grains Nobles
The Cuvée Ernest Riesling Alsace Sélection de Grains Nobles is a sublime expression of Alsace. This sweet white wine, made from 100% Riesling grapes, displays an intense golden yellow color with amber reflections. The nose enchants with intense notes of candied fruit, honey, and citrus, evolving towards mineral hints. On the palate, it is rich, sweet, but beautifully balanced by lively acidity. At 13% vol., it's ideal with foie gras or blue cheeses, served at 8-10°C. A wine with extraordinary aging potential.
