Got a case of this as an interesting (NV Burgundy) and less expensive way to try wine from Lalou Leroy-Bize, the ex-DRC biodynamic winemaker. …
313. Domaines Schlumberger, Riesling Grand Cru Saering Alsace, 2002
Continuing the New Year resolution, the lads at Planet of the Grapes suggested this as something interesting. Overall, this is definitely well-made… BUT, the …
