Gewurtztraminer grand Cru Kessler - Domaines Schlumberger 2021

Domaines Schlumberger's Gewurztraminer Grand Cru Kessler is an excellent example of how specific terroir can elevate an already aromatic grape variety to extraordinary levels of expression. Located in the Alsace region, the Grand Cru Kessler vineyard benefits from a unique combination of clay and sandy soils, optimal sun exposure and protection from cold winds, creating ideal conditions for growing Gewurztraminer.

Domaines Schlumberger, a winery with a long history and deep knowledge of the Alsatian terroir, manages its vineyards with sustainable practices and a commitment to excellence. The Grand Cru Kessler is known for its wines of character, which reflect not only the typicality of Gewurztraminer but also the singularity of their terroir. This specific cuvée represents the culmination of that dedication, highlighting the finest qualities of this fragrant grape variety.

The winemaking aims to preserve and accentuate the intense natural aromas and structure of the Gewurztraminer. Fermentation takes place at controlled temperatures, followed by a period of refinement that varies according to the vintage, to ensure that the wine achieves a perfect balance between aromatic depth and freshness.

Visually, the Gewurztraminer Grand Cru Kessler presents itself with a golden yellow color, suggestive of the aromatic richness that will be found on the nose and palate. On the nose, the wine explodes with an intense and complex bouquet: aromas of exotic fruit such as litchi and mango, rose petals, sweet spices and a light minerality underline its Grand Cru origin.

In the mouth, Kessler demonstrates a full body and a velvety texture, with a perfect balance between sweetness and acidity that makes the wine extraordinarily harmonious. The flavor palette faithfully follows the olfactory profile, adding layers of complexity with notes of honey, spices and a fine minerality that leads to a long and persistent finish.

Ideal for special occasions, Domaines Schlumberger's Gewurztraminer Grand Cru Kessler can accompany a variety of dishes, from spicy Asian cuisine, to strong cheeses such as Munster, to foie gras-based dishes. It is also an exceptional wine for dessert or to enjoy on its own as a meditation wine.

Through Gewurztraminer Grand Cru Kessler, Domaines Schlumberger offers a tasting experience that celebrates the uniqueness of Alsace terroir and the mastery of producing wines that are both deeply rooted in tradition and boldly expressive.
