Domaines Schlumberger
Read more Read less
Domaines Schlumberger, located in Guebwiller in southern Alsace, has been family-owned since 1810 and is one of France's most prestigious wineries. Today, the seventh generation runs the estate: Séverine and Thomas Schlumberger cultivate approximately 140 hectares of vineyards – the largest contiguous AOC vineyard in Alsace, 70 hectares of which are in four Grand Cru sites. On steep slopes with gradients of up to 50 percent, tended by draft horses and supported by over 50 kilometers of stone retaining walls, wines of great depth are produced. Schlumberger uses only its own grapes and consciously produces only half of what the law would permit.

Steep-slope winegrowers from Guebwiller in Alsace
Domaines Schlumberger from Guebwiller in southern Alsace has been family-owned since 1810 and manages around 140 hectares of vineyards — the largest contiguous AOC winery in Alsace. Séverine and Thomas Schlumberger run the house in the seventh generation and rely on cultivation that puts the soil at the center: steep slopes with a gradient of up to 50 percent, over 50 kilometers of stone retaining walls, and draft horses instead of machines.
Four Grand Cru sites — Kitterlé, Kessler, Saering, and Spiegel — shape the character of the wines. Granite, sandstone, and limestone give the grapes their mineral depth, and the long ripening periods on the slope give them their concentration. Schlumberger presses only its own grapes and deliberately produces only half of the legally permitted quantity — a clear commitment to quality over volume.
The wines show what Alsace can do when terroir and patience come together: precise acidity, aromatic complexity, and a storage potential that surprises many. Whether Riesling, Gewurztraminer, or Pinot Gris — here, the site always speaks.
