2021 Dm Schlumberger Les Princes Abbes Pinot Blanc, Alsace

The nose is marked, pleasant and intense. We perceive a dominant of sophisticated scents, white fruits, golden apple, flowers, hop and a slight hint of smokiness. The airing enhances these scents and reveals Williams pear and fresh mushroom. The nose perfectly captures the characteristics of the varietal fragrance. Flattering and understandable, it delivers a great pleasure.

The onset in the mouth is slender and the alcohol support full-bodied. The wine evolves on an incisive, sharp, saline, sparkling medium. We find the same aromas as on the nose, still dominated by golden apple, Williams pear, white flowers, hop, fresh mushroom and this smokiness. We perceive a hint of bitterness. The finish has a good length, 6-7 caudalies and a persistent and marked liveliness. The balance of this wine is focused on freshness. Tonic and precise, it offers a bright range of aromas based on the terroir.
