"Notes of ripe lemon have a honeyed, herbal lift, with a hint of candied lemon peel. The palate of this wine comes with concentration and a lemon freshness that radiates ripeness, brightness and intensity in equal measure. The finish is long, lemony, waxy and dry. Lovely now the wine is certain to evolve. Drink now-2030. Anne Krebiehl MW"

"A ripe touch of dried tangerine peel on the nose leads onto a palate where lemon reigns. The palate tingles with bright, brisk freshness on a dry, light body. This is as refreshing as it is appetizing. Anne Krebiehl MW"
yr. 2013 Wine Enthusiast:
88 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Domaines Schlumberger Riesling Les Princes Abbes" from the vintage 2013 on 01.07.2017 with 88 of 100 points.
"A closed nose leads to a softly apricot-fruited palate. Tension and structure are provided by a streak of fresh lemon acidity that tones the body and gives a lighter, clear accent to the sonorous fruit."
yr. 2015 Wine Enthusiast:
92 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Domaines Schlumberger Riesling Les Princes Abbes" from the vintage 2015 on 01.01.2017 with 92 of 100 points.
"The aromatic tang of ripe lemon peel plays on the nose. The palate is pervaded by the same refreshing zestiness, shimmering with cheerful citrus brightness amidst riper notions of pear and peach. This is mouth-watering stuff, almost addictive with its dry zesty finish."
yr. 2014 Wine Enthusiast:
91 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Domaines Schlumberger Riesling Les Princes Abbes" from the vintage 2014 on 01.01.2016 with 91 of 100 points.
"Riesling has an ability to unite opposites: ripeness and tartness of fruit, a slender frame and unexpected weight. This dry and harmonious wine shows off these contradictions perfectly. A spiky freshness of citrus meets the generosity and juiciness of stone fruits. It is the dialectic between them that thrills."
yr. 2011 Tom Cannavan:
88 of 100 Points.
"Tom Cannavan" has rated the wine "Domaines Schlumberger Riesling Les Princes Abbes" from the vintage 2011 on 01.01.2015 with 88 of 100 points.
"(2015) A delightful if understated Riesling, this has stone-fruit aromas, lemon and gentle wax, peach down and stony minerals. On the palate it has a hint of being off-dry, with a clean, fruity palate, though whilst balanced, it perhaps lacks the last ounce of precision and pinging acidity of the very best examples."
yr. 2012 Gilbert & Gaillard:
87 of 100 Points.
"Gilbert & Gaillard" has rated the wine "Domaines Schlumberger Riesling Les Princes Abbes" from the vintage 2012 on 01.02.2014 with 87 of 100 points.
"Light yellow, green tints. Pleasant, expressive nose with accents of white flowers and a floral and mineral touch. Fresh attack on the palate with more of the same delightful, focused aromas. Beautiful balance. An accessible Riesling for starters."
yr. 2011 Wine Enthusiast:
89 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Domaines Schlumberger Riesling Les Princes Abbes" from the vintage 2011 on 01.01.2014 with 89 of 100 points.
"This perfumed wine is very dry but has delicious and fragrant fruitiness. A slight steely character adds complexity and structure. Made from biodynamically farmed grapes, it is ready to drink."
yr. 2012 Wine Enthusiast:
89 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Domaines Schlumberger Riesling Les Princes Abbes" from the vintage 2012 on 01.01.2014 with 89 of 100 points.
"A stylish wine, not quite bone dry but definitely heading in that direction. Perfumed with crisp apple flavors, it also has a steely, tight texture. It's wonderfully fruity and ripe while keeping total freshness. Drink from the end of 2014."
yr. 2010 Gilbert & Gaillard:
88 of 100 Points.
"Gilbert & Gaillard" has rated the wine "Domaines Schlumberger Riesling Les Princes Abbes" from the vintage 2010 on 01.06.2013 with 88 of 100 points.
"Light yellow with green tints. Compelling nose mingling lemon and stone fruits. Supple attack, round, full and ripe palate showing candied lemon and greengage with a mineral note. Fresh, exuberant finish with wonderful exposure. A successful effort."
yr. 2009 Gilbert & Gaillard:
89 of 100 Points.
"Gilbert & Gaillard" has rated the wine "Domaines Schlumberger Riesling Les Princes Abbes" from the vintage 2009 on 01.03.2012 with 89 of 100 points.
"Attractive limpid pale yellow. The nose gradually unfurls elegant floral, mineral and fruity aromas. The palate offers up good structure, abundant freshness and the same, nicely restrained aromas. Wonderful long-lasting aftertaste suggestive of tangy fruit."
yr. 2009 Tom Cannavan:
89 of 100 Points.
"Tom Cannavan" has rated the wine "Domaines Schlumberger Riesling Les Princes Abbes" from the vintage 2009 on 01.01.2012 with 89 of 100 points.
"(2012) A bit of waxy character here, lemon and lime fruit. Very nicely pitched - fruity, but intriguingly mineral too. The palate is full of fruit. Is this technically off-dry? Hard to say as the whooshing weight of acidity sweeps through over the quite opulent fruit. Deliciously tangy, packed with flavour and texture."
yr. 2008 Wine Enthusiast:
89 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Domaines Schlumberger Riesling Les Princes Abbes" from the vintage 2008 on 01.01.2010 with 89 of 100 points.
"Finely perfumed wine, with all the right crisp, steely character of Riesling. It has bright white fruit flavors, intense initial acidity that broadens out into a fine, complex wine. Worth aging 3-4 years."
yr. 2006 Wine Enthusiast:
86 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Domaines Schlumberger Riesling Les Princes Abbes" from the vintage 2006 on 01.01.2009 with 86 of 100 points.
"Attractive aromas of mineral and slate are hampered by some musty notes. Nonetheless, the palate is well-structured, with refreshing acidity reinforcing mineral notes. This is an austere, dry style perfect for those who shy away from the fruitier examples."
yr. 2004 Wine Enthusiast:
87 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Domaines Schlumberger Riesling Les Princes Abbes" from the vintage 2004 on 01.01.2007 with 87 of 100 points.
"Slightly schizophrenic, this wine touts a strange but intriguing gamut of aromas and flavors. The nose presents mild vegetal and ashy powder notes while the palate offers more typical nuances of nectarine and lemon. A tart and fleeting finish counters the somewhat creamy, medium-full body, concluding with a feeling of balance."
yr. 2005 Wine Enthusiast:
87 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Domaines Schlumberger Riesling Les Princes Abbes" from the vintage 2005 on 01.01.2007 with 87 of 100 points.
"Typical flavors of apple, key lime and stony minerality intermingle with hints of dried spice and honey, creating a nicely balanced wine with a clean, dry finish. Solid and remarkably refreshing, this is a great choice for warmer afternoons of light grilling or picnicking."
yr. 2003 Wine Enthusiast:
87 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Domaines Schlumberger Riesling Les Princes Abbes" from the vintage 2003 on 01.01.2006 with 87 of 100 points.
"In 2003, Schlumberger only bottled one grand cru Riesling, leaving the fruit from Saering and Kessler to help beef up this wine. It's a plump yet minerally take on Riesling, with lime, apple and melon aromas and flavors accented by a dry, minerally feel. Picks up a hint of anise on the finish."
yr. 2002 Wine Enthusiast:
88 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Domaines Schlumberger Riesling Les Princes Abbes" from the vintage 2002 on 01.01.2005 with 88 of 100 points.
"For its relatively lowly status in the hierarchy of Domaines Schlumberger's wines, this is an excellent, fresh, floral wine with great acidity and lemon zest flavors. Bone dry, it is ready to drink now, but should improve over the short term. Imported by Maisons Marques & Domaines USA."
yr. 1999 Wine Enthusiast:
84 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Domaines Schlumberger Riesling Les Princes Abbes" from the vintage 1999 on 01.01.2003 with 84 of 100 points.
"Notes of crystallized candy and lemon lollipop dominate the nose of this sharp, fairly acidic wine. That said, lemon and apple flavors are what you get, followed by a scouring finish that leaves your palate prepped. Probably best with oysters or something along those line."
yr. 1998 Wine Enthusiast:
91 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Domaines Schlumberger Riesling Les Princes Abbes" from the vintage 1998 on 01.01.2002 with 91 of 100 points.
"So pure, so Riesling. Pine nuts, wild forest flowers, baked custard (botrytis?), lemon and lime, mineral (slate, granite). Richly textured, very dry with real tartness in the finish, and great acid that bites into the palate. A joy to drink."
yr. 1997 Tom Cannavan:
87 of 100 Points.

"(2001) Very steely, citrus nose. A palate of crunchy, crisp lemon and lime fruit. Again a particularly lean and focused style, but very pure and well-made."
