Tasting note:

Vintages Wine Panel: Domaines Schlumberger is one of Alsace’s iconic producers. The domaine boasts the largest vineyard holdings in the region with 120 hectares. While bigger is not necessarily better in the wine industry, this estate proves that size and quality can coexist by producing award-winning, critically acclaimed wines at all price levels. This is an excellent Pinot Gris. My note: Zesty refreshment with green apple, boysenberry, chives and lemon peel. Medium-bodied and mouth-watering. Food matches: spicy noodles with lemongrass chicken.

Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:
Adam Bekhor rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

The 2006 Domaines Schlumberger Pinot Gris is a wine that really is at its peak right now. It has wonderfully rich flavours of ripe pear, ripe peach and stone. It has great acidity but is complemented with a richness you can only find in a mature wine. My only complaint is that this wine seems a bit confused whether it’s dry or off-dry. I would recommend pairing this wine with Chinese food or even Indian.

Serve this wine between 55-60 degrees Farenheit or 12-16 degrees Celsius. Tip: If your bottle is at room temperature, put it in ice water for about 30 minutes or in the fridge for about three hours to chill it.
