The colour is pale yellow with clear reflections of good intensity. A dominant scent of citrus fruits, zest of yuzu, lime, white flowers, and a spicy register of ginger. Aeration amplifies these odours and reveals the pear and an underlying mineral smokiness. The odour profile provides a good feeling of freshness. The variety is racy, and the definition of terroir is becoming clearer.

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. To the north of Guebwiller, Saering faces east and southeast at an altitude of 260 to 300. Saering ‘marl/limestone/sandstone terroir brings out the best in this magnificent, fine, delicate Riesling.

Now run by the 6^th and 7^th generations, Domaines Schlumberger was founded in 1810 by Nicolas Schlumberger, who established vineyards on the renowned slopes above the town of Guebwiller. These vineyard sites have a history of viticulture, having been planted since 207AD. Through successive generations the holding has grown to be one of France’s largest and finest domaines.
