Domaines Schlumberger – Pinot Gris 2010 Vendanges Tardives – Alsace

The nose is fruity, gourmande, rich, quite elegant and offers a fine freshness. It reveals notes of honey, candied lemon, botrytis and slight notes of orange paste combined with hints of pineapple in syrup, apricot as well as discreet hints of spices and (very) discreet hint of toasted hazelnut. The palate is fruity, elegant, aerial, nicely balanced and offers an acid frame and a beautiful structure. On the palate this wine expresses notes of lemon quince, candied clementine and fine notes of pineapple in syrup associated with a hint of peach as well as slight notes of apricot, honey, gingerbread and a discreet hint of brioche. Good length.
