About the winery

Our estate is located in Alsace, east of France. When our ancestors in the XVI Century settled in Guebwiller, the monks "The Princes Abbés” of Murbach controlled the vineyard. This power ceased at the French Revolution, end of the XVIII Century and it permitted a new land regrouping.

In 1810 Nicolas Schlumberger (1782-1867) set up a factory of materiel machines in Guebwiller. As he was attached to the land he also bought about 20 hectares of vines. That was the start of a rare harmony between earth and human exigencies: “Les Domaines Schlumberger” were born.

Three generations later, Ernest Schlumberger (1885 – 1954) took care of the Domaine. Because of the phylloxera that ruined the vines in the early XX Century, the vineyard of Guebwiller was abandoned by most of the winegrowers during this period. Shrewdly, Ernest Schumberger realised the opportunity in front of him, so he bought plots of vine and replanted them. He also built terraces on the whole vineyard and established horizontally planting of the vine.

Eric Beydon-Schlumberger arrived in Guebwiller in 1971 and invested himself in the company. We owe to him a re-planting of the old vineyard as well its world famous renown.

Professionals’ opinions

   Wine.com
White Wine by Domaines Schlumberger from Alsace, France - regions. The robe is a lemon yellow with light green reflections of good intensity. The disk is bright, limpid, transparent. The wine shows youth. The nose is frank, pleasant with a good intensity. It is distinguished, and one notes a fruity dominant, citrus fruits, candied lemon and a slight mineral, smoky hint. Airing enhances the citrus fruit, lemon character and reveals spicy, ginger, white flower notes, and still this slight delicate minerality. The nose is a delight, the aromatic profile is typical and well emphasized by the reflection of the terroir. Very beautiful nose. The onset in the mouth is dense and powerful. The alcoholic base is marked. One evolves on an incisive and edgy, finely sparkling medium. One notes fruity aromas, citrus fruits, candied lemon, spices, ginger and always this underlying minerality. The final shows a good persistence, 7 caudalies, and a strict vivacity. The structure is exemplary, light and distinguished. A well-done work. To be seved within 5 to 7 years, at a temperature of 54?C. I like to serve it with a shrimp salad with ginger or with scallops with citrus fruits.
