Domaines Schlumberger Pinot Blanc Les Princes Abbés 2024 13% 750ml

TASTING NOTES

APPEARANCE

The wine is pale lemon-yellow with green highlights, bright and clear.

AROMA

The nose is clean, precise, of medium intensity, dominated by white-fleshed fruit (pear, crisp apple), complemented by notes of white peach. With aeration, floral nuances appear (linden, acacia blossom) and a light hint of fresh almond.

PALATE

On the palate the attack is frank and direct. The acidity is moderately lively, giving tension and verticality. The body is light, with a supple texture and a slight richness in the mid-palate. The balance is precise between freshness, fruitiness and minerality. The finish is of medium length, marked by salinity and a fruity aftertaste.

WINEMAKERS COMMENTS

Even though the Pinot Blanc is very old (already known in the 16th century), it achieved its present reputation only during the last few years. This grape variety is not originating from the Bourgogne (Burgundy) region but comes from Northern Italy. It was first introduced by the Anglo-Saxons. The French then also discovered it gradually and they began to appreciate this wine for its qualities of freshness, suppleness and its food-friendliness.

FOOD MATCHING

Excellent gastronomic potential: river fish, seafood sauerkraut, poultry in cream sauce, moules marinières, sushi, goat’s milk cheeses…

VINIFICATION

Pneumatic pressing, static racking. Fermentation in thermo-regulated tuns for one to four months.

MATURATION

Maturing for seven months on fine lees.
