"Hints of ripe, yellow pear just peek through on the shy nose of this wine. The palate sweeps in with the ripe juiciness of yellow pear, adding lovely phenolic pithiness that provides texture and direction. Subtle freshness highlights the beautifully dry and concentrated finish. Anne Krebiehl MW"

"Ripe, aromatic green and yellow pears waft on the nose. Concentrated and rich, the palate is tempered with a guiding streak of ripe lemon freshness, creating attractive tension as well as harmonious balance. The finish is off dry and long. Anne Krebiehl MW"

"The nose gives appetizing glimpses of pure ripe juicy pear. These flavors blossom fully on the palate and leave a most harmonious picture of ample, dry, but well-expressed pear fruit with lovely freshness. Everything here happens with ease. The finish is pure and fresh."

"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Domaines Schlumberger Pinot Gris Les Princes Abbes" from the vintage 2014 on 01.01.2016 with 90 of 100 points.
"The nose of this wine is restrained, just giving away pear and citrus, but the dry palate is concentrated and spiced with almond and marzipan. Ample tone from mouthwatering acidity will make this a huge winner at any table. It has great poise and balance."

"This dry Pinot Gris relies on its richness for power and concentration. From the steep, hillside Schlumberger Vineyards, this is dense and spicy; its acidity and minerality are essential to its character. Age for a year, or drink now."

"Gilbert & Gaillard" has rated the wine "Domaines Schlumberger Pinot Gris Les Princes Abbes" from the vintage 2012 on 01.02.2014 with 87 of 100 points.
"Beautiful limpid pale yellow. Fairly subdued nose of ripe fruits with crisp accents. Wonderful balance, fullness and fairly intense perfume on the palate. A full-bodied style pairing with white meats or stews."

"A big, ripe and spicy wine, it also has plenty of fruit to balance plus a drier structure at its center. Just a hint of lychee plus a rounded texture make it full bodied but never heavy. Drink from the end of 2014."

"Brilliant golden hue. Distinctive, refined nose showing delicate smoky and spicy notes with white peach. Generous attack, fleshy, ripe and sensual mouthfeel not lacking in character. Aromatic finish. Refined exuberance supports the whole. A wine for pleasure."

"Yellow-gold. Crisp nose with faint suggestions of apricot fruit butter. On the palate, a successful combination of power, richness and freshness. More of the crisp nose aromatics. A distinctive, aromatic style."

"This dry style of Pinot Gris has a rich character, which allows the spice to come through strongly--the acidity lingering behind. Flavors of tropical fruits are allied to the smooth, ripe finish."
yr. 2008 Wine Enthusiast:
88 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Domaines Schlumberger Pinot Gris Les Princes Abbes" from the vintage 2008 on 01.01.2010 with 88 of 100 points.
"Soft-textured wine, open to spiced pear and apricots with kiwi fruit acidity. It takes a while before the bite of pepper and the richness come through. There is weight and intensity on the finish."
yr. 2007 Wine Enthusiast:
85 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Domaines Schlumberger Pinot Gris Les Princes Abbes" from the vintage 2007 on 01.01.2010 with 85 of 100 points.
"Almost light-bodied and with a distinct freshness, the style here is part Pinot Gris, part Pinot Grigio. There's plenty of nuttiness and citrus fruit and although the palate starts out with a note of soft sweet fruit it finishes dry. Drink now."
yr. 2006 Wine Enthusiast:
85 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Domaines Schlumberger Pinot Gris Les Princes Abbes" from the vintage 2006 on 01.01.2009 with 85 of 100 points.
"The subdued nose on this example will appeal to drinkers who avoid fruity, highly aromatic wines. The fairly concentrated palate, which shows some pleasant nutty notes, is slightly off-dry but the finish is crisp due to a good level of supporting acidity. Serve with baked or pan-seared fish."
yr. 2002 Wine Enthusiast:
88 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Domaines Schlumberger Pinot Gris Les Princes Abbes" from the vintage 2002 on 01.01.2006 with 88 of 100 points.
"A blend from a number of its vineyards, this is a dry wine, with fresh acidity and white currant flavors. A great apéritif wine, but also good with fish or salads. Imported by Maisons Marques & Domaines USA."

"(2001) Notes of juicy peach and apricot kernel dominate the nose, almost a nutty character. The palate is moderately rich, with hints of plum and apricot, but again that searing core of lemony acidity that is a house style punches through, leading to a dry, mineral finish."
