Domaines Schlumberger Pinot Gris Grand Cru Kitterlé 2011 barmes-buecher above St Estephe with maturationAROMA The nose is frank, pleasant, intense, elegant. Open, one perceives a dominant of candied, overripe scents of yellow fruits, quince, mirabelle plum, apricot jelly, and a slight complex smoky hint. Airing enhances the previous aromas and reveals honey and an underlying floral character. The nose shows a beautiful complexity, proof of the superb quality of the raw material. The rendering is splendid.
