            [Notes1] => The robe is lemon yellow with green reflections of medium intensity. The disk 
is bright, limpid and transparent. The wine shows youth.
The nose is marked, pleasant and intense. We perceive a dominant of scents of 
delicate vegetal, white flowers and citrus fruits (lemon zest and lime).
The airing enhances the previous scents and reveals a mineral touch of 
naphtha, slightly smoked. Ripe and complex, the fragrance profile gives 
prominence to the terroir. It requires time to assert itself.
The onset in the mouth is moderately ample, slender. The alcohol support is 
balanced. The wine evolves on a medium with a frank liveliness, marked by a 
sparkling note. The range of flavours is in line with that of the nose, still 
dominated by citrus fruits (clementine, lime), white flowers, spices (ginger) and 
this slight yet complex smoked mineral touch of naphtha. We can taste a 
delicate bitterness. The finish has a long length, 5-6 caudalies, as well as a 
frank and persistent liveliness. The profile is pure and crystalline, embellished 
by the terroir character. It requires time to open.

            [ServingSuggestion] => Ideal to accompany a cuisine based on the sea, it can be associated with 
stuffed mussels as in the French city of Sète, a nage of crustacean and shellfish 
in a crust, a green tea risotto with lobster medallions or a goat’s cheese, such 
as the Pouligny Saint Pierre… Serve at 12°C
            [WineMakingNotes] => 
Ranked among the best wines in the world, the Riesling is one of Alsace’s 
biggest successes. Introduced in the 15th century, and originating from the 
Orleanois region, it is different from its German counterpart and from the 
numerous Riesling, which can now be found a little all over the world. A lateripening grape variety, it continues to ripen at low temperatures, but gives 
marvelous results when there is a sunny, dry, late summer. First distinguished 
in 1699, Kitterlé has always had an exceptional reputation. Already protected 
in the middle ages, it has been sold under its own name 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.
