"Magnolia blossom and celery aromas are pure, clean and inviting. The palate of this wine is taut and nervy, suggesting beach rocks tumbled in lemon juice. That fresh celery characteristic lingers through to the end. Layla Schlack"

"Brilliant straw-yellow. Youthful, lemony nose with dried fruits and burgeoning stony minerality. Lively palate full of weight, smoothness and fruity freshness. A very sappy, deep wine with plenty left to reveal."

"Zesty notions of lime peel have a fruity, riper touch of red apple about them. It is these apple flavors that become very expressive and aromatic on the dry concentrated palate. There is lovely midpalate texture that has something of citrus pith about it, while lemon freshness is the central structural element. There is something solid and honest about this. Drink through 2028. Anne Krebiehl MW"

"A touch of lemon balm adds a breezy freshness to the nose, while a pure, bright and precise notion of ripe lemon pervades and takes over the entire palate. On its fringes, delicious hints of chamomile and chervil appear alongside ripe red apple. This is a tantalizing charmer in spite of its absolute dryness and vivid acidity. Drink 2017-2037."
yr. 2013 Wine Enthusiast:

"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Domaines Schlumberger Riesling Saering" from the vintage 2013 on 01.01.2017 with 92 of 100 points.
"The nose is subdued at first but then opens up into ripe apple notes with the zesty spice of grapefruit rind. The palate is dry and concentrated and adds a riper notion of juicy yellow plum while a bright lemony citrus streak keeps everything taut and lively. This is joyful, subtle and fresh and finishes on a pure apple note."
yr. 2011 Wine Enthusiast:
91 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Domaines Schlumberger Riesling Saering" from the vintage 2011 on 01.07.2016 with 91 of 100 points.
"The wine has a golden character, warm and ripe. Its rich fruits bring out honeydew melon and pineapple as well as crisper orange zest. The structure and the rich texture are already all there, although it will develop well until 2020."
yr. 2012 Wine Enthusiast:
92 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Domaines Schlumberger Riesling Saering" from the vintage 2012 on 01.01.2016 with 92 of 100 points.
"Earthy notes are mixed into the perfume of fleshy, ripe apricots, edged with baking spice. The palate plays on the same register of ripe stone fruit tempered by spice, earth and dried orange peel. This is dry and slender but incisive and concentrated--very grown up and appealing in a restrained, elegant fashion. The finish is clean and long. Drink 2016-2025."
yr. 2010 Wine Enthusiast:
94 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Domaines Schlumberger Riesling Saering" from the vintage 2010 on 01.01.2014 with 94 of 100 points.
"This is a perfumed, complex wine that veers between showcasing the freshest fruit flavors and hints of maturity. It's fresh with berry notes and intense with acidity, but rich in texture as well. This is a wine to age much longer, so don't drink before 2017."

"Mittleres Gelb, Silberreflexe. Mit feinen Wiesenkräutern unterlegte gelbe Steinobstanklänge, reife Ananas, feiner Honigtouch. Saftig, gute Komplexität, reife Marillenfrucht, finessenreicher Säurebogen, elegant und gut anhaftend, feiner Blütenhonig im Nachhall, mineralischer Rückgeschmack."

"Kräftiges Gelb, Goldreflexe. Mit einem Hauch von Feuerstein unterlegte attraktive Steinobstanklänge, kandierte Orangenzesten, Anklänge von Ananas und Maracuja, mineralischer Touch. Saftig, zart karamellige Nuancen, gelbe Frucht, lebendige Säurestruktur, zitroniger Touch im Abgang, bereits gut antrinkbar, ein vielseitiger Speisenbegleiter."

"Brilliant yellow-gold, green tints. Racy nose with a refined mineral tone backed by ripe lemon. Ethereal, tense palate with splendid clear-cut expression mirroring the nose. Compact with sensuality mellowing its fine mineral firmness. A superlative wine."
yr. 2008 Wine Enthusiast:

"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Domaines Schlumberger Riesling Saering" from the vintage 2008 on 01.01.2012 with 93 of 100 points.
"Schlumberger's practice of aging wine before release means that this is a Riesling well on the way to impressive maturity. It is poised, with an aroma of currant and hints of toast and flower. While drinkable now, this would certainly be worth aging for several more years."
yr. 2007 Tom Cannavan:
92 of 100 Points.
"Tom Cannavan" has rated the wine "Domaines Schlumberger Riesling Saering" from the vintage 2007 on 01.01.2012 with 92 of 100 points.
"(2012) At five years of age this has taken on a little colour, and a lovely hint of mineral, paraffin-wax development beneath pristine apple fruit. It's an un-showy style aromatically, and that discreet character continues on the palate: make no mistake, this has delicious concentration and a grip of grapefruit flavour and acidity, but it has restraint too. The mid-palate allows the waxy, full texture to coat the mouth, whilst those ripe but razor sharp apple and citrus flavours betray only the most tantalising glimpse of tangerine and lime, and more opulent character. A bracing, firm finish makes this a fairly intellectual and yet delicious, bone-dry style."
yr. 2007 Gilbert & Gaillard:
91 of 100 Points.
"Gilbert & Gaillard" has rated the wine "Domaines Schlumberger Riesling Saering" from the vintage 2007 on 01.01.2010 with 91 of 100 points.
"Light gold. Extremely backward nose with timid floral and mineral fragrances. Excellent framework, a wine that is simultaneously dense, fleshy and well-balanced with an acidulous touch on the finish offseting the minerality."
yr. 2007 Wine Enthusiast:
87 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Domaines Schlumberger Riesling Saering" from the vintage 2007 on 01.01.2010 with 87 of 100 points.
"Serious mineral tones take precedence over the fruit here, with hay aromas giving way to flavors of stones and just a hint of apricot on the palate. Some strawberry fruit graces the medium finish. This wine is fairly dry, a flexible partner for a variety of classically prepared fish poultry."
yr. 2006 Wine Enthusiast:
88 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Domaines Schlumberger Riesling Saering" from the vintage 2006 on 01.01.2009 with 88 of 100 points.
"This wine will suit those who are drawn to Riesling's food-pairing genius but don't want the explosion of fruit this variety normally provides. The nose is mineral-driven with aromas of beeswax while the palate is quite austere and finishes with a dry, acidic kick."
yr. 2004 Wine Enthusiast:
89 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Domaines Schlumberger Riesling Saering" from the vintage 2004 on 01.01.2007 with 89 of 100 points.
"With notes of wet stones, petrol, lime and apple, this plump, medium-intensity wine balances nicely. Hints of mint and pineapple core are also exposed on the palate. A persistent finish with a slightly oily viscosity lingers long after the wine is gone. Imported by Maison Marques et Domaines."
yr. 2005 Wine Enthusiast:
87 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Domaines Schlumberger Riesling Saering" from the vintage 2005 on 01.01.2007 with 87 of 100 points.
"Lighter texture with a clean, citrusy finish, this is a simple quaff made for easy enjoyment. Full of ripe lemon, Granny Smith apple and stone-dust minerality with just a hint of under ripe nectarine."
yr. 2002 Wine Enthusiast:
91 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Domaines Schlumberger Riesling Saering" from the vintage 2002 on 01.01.2005 with 91 of 100 points.
"Blasts from the glass with intense apple and mineral aromas, followed by full-bodied (but not heavy) flavors on the palate. Picks up a hint of anise in the mouth, then finishes long, with lingering notes of fruit and mineral oil. This explosive wine is drinking well already, but should age gracefully over at least the next 5-7 years. Imported by Maisons Marques & Domaines USA."
yr. 2001 Wine Enthusiast:
90 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Domaines Schlumberger Riesling Saering" from the vintage 2001 on 01.01.2005 with 90 of 100 points.
"As the owner of more vineyards than any other Alsace producer, Schlumberger lords it over Guebwiller in the south of the region. This Riesling from the Saering vineyard is already showing petrol aromas, and the palate has lost some youthful acidity, replacing it with a light sweetness, flavors of currants and even peaches. There is acidity, though, and this suggests it will mature further."
yr. 2000 Wine Enthusiast:
89 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Domaines Schlumberger Riesling Saering" from the vintage 2000 on 01.01.2004 with 89 of 100 points.
"Beydon-Schlumberger calls this grand cru "democratic" and says that "people who don't know Riesling will like it." People who know Riesling will like it just the same. Flavors are of pear, with hints of pistachio, olive oil and peach skin. It's medium-weight and finishes with some length."
yr. 1999 Wine Enthusiast:
90 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Domaines Schlumberger Riesling Saering" from the vintage 1999 on 01.01.2003 with 90 of 100 points.
"Golden in color and oily in the nose, with aromas of pineapple, almond extract and petrol. Texture is what this wine offers in spades, that and full pineapple, melon and green apple flavors. Very balanced and offering the right mix of richness, acids and ripe flavors."
yr. 2014 VertdeVin:
93 of 100 Points.
"VertdeVin" has rated the wine "Domaines Schlumberger Riesling Saering" from the vintage 2014 with 93 of 100 points.
"The nose is elegant, fine and offers a small fleshiness. It reveals notes of nectarine, ripe pear and small notes of citrus associated with hints of quenette as well as a hint of honeysuckle. The palate is fruity, well-balanced, racy and offers a fine mineral frame, a fine acidity (in the background), elegance, a good definition, a fine juiciness, a fine intensity as well as a racy minerality. On the palate this wine expresses notes of ripe lemon, crunchy pineapple, ripe apple and small notes of racy minerality combined with touches of ripe tangerine and grape. Good length. Beautiful aromatic persistence with touches of ripe citrus and ripe green apple."
