History
Muscat is a very ancient grape variety, first mentioned in 1510. Of eastern origin and very different to the sweet Muscats, it is the result of a blend of two grape varieties, Muscat d’Alsace grapes and Muscat Ottonel. (Blended in equal proportions at Domaines Schlumberger).
Location
Muscat is a delicate, very sensitive, grape variety. This wine mainly comes from the BOLLENBERG and BUX plots. Being very difficult, our Muscat is unfortunately not available every year.
Wine-making
A blend, in equal proportions, of two varieties of Muscat d’Alsace and Muscat Ottonel. Pressed pneumatically, Static settling of the must. Fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel vats. Bottled at the beginning of Spring.
Gastronomy
The structure is sinewy and light but in no way loses its concentration of aromas from these wonderful grape varieties. Should be immediately recommended to connoisseurs of Muscat as an aperitif or with gingered salmon blinis. Ideal serving temperature 11°C.
