Located in Guebwiller, at the foot of the Vosges, Domaines Schlumberger have embodied Alsatian winegrowing excellence for over two centuries. The Schlumbergers craft in their region cuvées of great precision, renowned for their aromatic purity, balance, and remarkable aging potential.
Founded at the beginning of the 19th century, the Schlumberger estate is one of the oldest and most prestigious family estates in Alsace. Generation after generation, the siblings have developed a unique winegrowing heritage, focusing very early on the development of steeply sloping plots, sometimes among the steepest in Europe.
This bold choice has enabled Domaines Schlumberger to establish itself as an absolute reference for lovers of white wines with character, precision, and expression.
