Pinot Gris Grand Cru Kitterlé AC Alsace Grand Cru 0.75L

Pinot Gris from the Grand Cru Kitterlé is not an easy entry into Alsace — it is a statement. The site above Guebwiller is one of the steepest and most idiosyncratic Grands Crus of the region, and Domaines Schlumberger has been cultivating it for generations with a consistency that one feels in the glass.

Schlumberger is the largest private winery in Alsace by area: around 140 hectares, a significant portion of which is in the Grands Crus Kitterlé, Kessler, Saering, and Spiegel. The Kitterlé itself is volcanically influenced sandstone with steep terraces and southern exposure — soils that store heat and force vines to deep rooting. Pinot Gris reacts to this terroir with density and aromatic intensity.

In the glass, a luscious style with clear structure shows: ripe yellow plum, candied apricot, a hint of white pepper and ginger in the background. The sweetness does not appear heavy because it is carried by a lively acidity and a slightly salty, mineral note. The finish is long, warm, and spicy.

This wine pairs best with dishes that can handle sweetness and spice: fried duck breast with orange sauce, strongly spiced blue cheese like Roquefort, or a classic Alsatian Munster cheese pastry. Serving temperature: 10–12 °C. Those who use it as a dessert accompaniment are right with Tarte Tatin or an almond cake.

The Domaine

Domaines Schlumberger

Domaines Schlumberger from Guebwiller in the southern Alsace has been family-owned since 1810 and is one of the most important wineries in France. Today, the seventh generation runs the house: Séverine and Thomas Schlumberger manage around 140 hectares of vineyards – the largest contiguous AOC winery in Alsace, 70 hectares of which are in four Grand Cru sites.

On steep slopes with a gradient of up to 50 percent, maintained with draft horses and over 50 kilometers of stone retaining walls, wines with great depth are created. Schlumberger presses only its own grapes and deliberately produces only half of what the law would allow.
