The 2024 Domaines Schlumberger Pinot Gris Les Princes Abbés is an expressive French white wine from Alsace, produced by the historic family-owned Domaines Schlumberger estate in Guebwiller. Crafted from Pinot Gris, this wine reflects the region’s sheltered vineyards, sunny growing conditions and distinctive terroir, which encourage generous fruit development while preserving freshness. Its aromatic profile suggests ripe pear, yellow apple, white peach and apricot, complemented by delicate notes of honeysuckle, orange blossom, honey and subtle warm spice.
On the palate, it is expected to be medium-bodied with a rounded, silky texture and balanced acidity. Flavours of ripe orchard fruit, juicy nectarine, baked apple and citrus peel unfold alongside hints of ginger, almond and gentle floral complexity. Its generous fruit character is balanced by refreshing acidity, creating a harmonious wine with depth and an elegant mouthfeel. The finish is smooth and persistent, leaving lingering impressions of ripe pear, stone fruit and delicate savoury spice.
