Domaines Schlumberger Saering Riesling Grand Cru 2017

92 Points Tasting Panel

Facing east-southeast on a hill above Guebwiller, the Saering vineyard spreads out into the valley below. The wine often tastes like the name, searing in its youthful acidity, and this vintage is powerfully acidic, but it is equally rich in fruit—hinting at the pale tops of strawberries just coming into ripeness. There’s some meaty depth underneath, suiting the wine to porky choucroute.
