Tasting notes
Laure, the sister of Christine Schlumberger, was the first woman in the family to marry a Catholic. Her dedication to various charitable organizations is fondly remembered. This Pinot Gris Vendange Tardive, made entirely from the Grand Cru Spiegel vineyards, is produced from grapes grown on hillsides at elevations between 260 and 315 meters, within a marl-sandstone terroir that faces east. The wine has an expressive and pleasant aroma, characterized by intense notes of candied and overripe fruits. You can detect hints of honey, yellow fruits, quince, and mirabelle plum, along with a subtle floral touch. On the palate, the initial impression is semi-liqueur and full-bodied, leading to a vibrant and lively mid-palate. The finish is long and exhibits a refreshing liveliness, with a rich structure. This balanced semi-liqueur is enhanced by the quality of the botrytis in the grapes. The grapes were superbly sorted in the vineyard!
