Other Info:

Distinguished right from 1394, Kessler has been sold under its own name since 1830. Kessler lies on a bedrock of sandstone and in the middle of this plot there is a small valley facing east, south-east which shelters it from the north winds and cold air streams which comes from the valley of Guebwiller. A natural extension of Grand Cru Kitterlé.

Domaine Schlumberger have practiced sustainable viticulture across all their vineyards since 2003. What's more, since 2006, 30ha of their land has been cultivated biodynamically.

The nose is very aromatic with hints of exotic fruits such as lychee, passion fruit and mango, along with more floral hints such as old rose. The palate is supple with finesse and silkiness. The finish is round, harmonious and finely balanced acidity and gentle sweetness.

Press:

'Ripe and elegant style showing flower and wild strawberry aromas. Sweet on the palate with good concentration, focus and an elegant balance. Long finish.' - Thierry Meyer, Decanter, May 2016
