            [Notes1] => The color is lemon yellow with clear reflections of good intensity. The disc is 
bright, limpid and transparent. The wine presents youth.
The nose is frank, pleasant and intense. We perceive a dominant fruity scent, 
citrus, lemon, citron and white flowers. Airing amplifies these smells and reveals 
spices, grated ginger and a subtle smoky mineral note, naphtha and gun flint. 
The nose confirms the perfect maturity of the grapes, it translates the definition 
of the terroir in a superb way.
The attack on the palate is slender, with a strong alcohol base. We evolve in a 
medium with strict liveliness, marked by a pearling environment. We find the 
range of aromas of the nose, always focused on citrus fruits, citron, lemon, 
white flowers, spices, ginger, admirably underlined by the mineral smoke of gun 
flint and naphtha. There is a hint of bitterness. The finish has great length, 10-
11 caudalies, along with frank liveliness and lingering bitterness. Clean and 
chiselled, the balance expresses the beautiful crystallinity of the Grand Cru. The 
range of noble aromas transcends it
            [Notes2] => The grapes for this Riesling come from the Grand Cru vineyard of Saering. To the north of Guebwiller, Saering covers 27 hectares of which Schlumberger own 20. It faces east and southeast at an altitude of 260 to 300. The soils are marl/limestone and sandstone. On the slopes the vineyards are arranged into terraces and are worked by horses, lessening compaction and thus the potential for erosion. The vineyard work is done biodynamically.
            [Notes3] => 
            [Notes4] => Light yellow with green reflections.  Intense and youthful on the nose, slightly floral aroma followed by dominant fruit of citrus and lemon.  Ample, fleshy palate. complex citrus flavours with underlying minerality.  Great balance and length.
            [MediaNotes] => 
            [ServingSuggestion] => To be combined with a carpaccio of langoustines and green apple remoulade, a 
smoked eel and horseradish whipped cream, sautéed sleeper crabs with ginger 
or a goat’s milk cheese, such as feta. Serving temperature: 12°C
            [WineMakingNotes] => First mentioned in 1250, the Saering plot escapes from the hill and extends like 
a peninsula on the plain, forming a sort of tongue of land in the form of a ring. 
It has been sold under its own since 1830.

The grapes are hand-picked and whole bunches are pressed. There is static settling of the lees. The wine is fermented in temperature controlled tuns, followed by raising on the less for 8 months.

                    [Notes1] => An estate nestled in the hills of Guebwiller in Southern Alsace, carefully managed and expanded by the Schlumberger family since 1810. Thanks to the foresight of Ernest Schlumberger at the turn of the 19th Century, the family lands increased from just 20ha to 140ha. Ernest purchased 
phylloxera-ravaged vineyards, replanting and resurrecting as he went. Over half of these vineyards are classified as Grand Cru sites, producing steely mineral led wines from the four famous Grand Crus of Guebwiller: Saering, Kitterle, Kessler and Spiegel. The wines have longevity and life, not just from these steep stony sites but from a deep rooted culture of organics, 
sustainability and on 30ha, biodynamic farming. Séverine Beydon-
Schlumberger and her brother Thomas now run the company with their Uncle Alain Freyburger making the wines in tandem with nature.
