The story
The Schlumberger family has been present in Guebwiller since the 16th century; the modern origins of the estate date back to the early 19th century when Nicolas Schlumberger purchased vineyards. In the following decades the property expanded through acquisitions and vineyard renovations, with replanting and terrace reconfiguration that shaped the estate's current layout.
Production philosophy
Production focused on respect for the land and on enhancing the crus: the domaine vinifies only the grapes harvested from its own vineyards and has moved toward sustainable vineyard management, converting selected parcels to biodynamic practices.
