Domaines Schlumberger
Located in the heart of Alsace, Domaines Schlumberger was established in 1810 by Nicolas Schlumberger. According to our Domaines Schlumberger wine reviews, Nicolas actually set up a factory of fabric machines in Guebwiller at that time and on the same land were vineyards of which he purchased 50 acres. Originally "The Princes Abbés” monks of Murbach controlled the vineyard in the 1600s, which is the inspiration for the Domaine Schlumberger wines bearing the same name. After centuries of Domaine Schlumberger Vineyards being family owned and run, it is now Alain and Séverine Schlumberger overseeing all winery operations. Since 2003 all the estate is cultivated using sustainable farming and since 2006 75 acres are now biodynamically farmed. There are three various lines of Domaine Schlumberger wines including The Princess Abbes, The Grand Crus and The Collections utilizing Sylvaner, Muscat, Pinot Noir, Pinot Blanc, Riesling, Pinot Gris and Gewurztraminer grape varieties with their finest selections coming from the Riesling plantings.

Domaines Schlumberger 2007 Kessler Grand Cru Riesling
- Cellar Selection
- $36
With a few years’ aging, this is beginning to show its almond and toast side. The fresh acidity is now melding beautifully into a soft, ripe texture with layers of spice and acidity. Certainly worth aging further.

Domaines Schlumberger 2000 Vendages Tardives Cuvée Laure Pinot Gris
- Editors' Choice
- $67
Everything that’s good about late-harvest Pinot Gris is captured in this wine from the Kessler vineyard. The apricot and peach aromas are powerful, but it’s the acid-based nectarine, honey and maple flavors that really make the point. Clear and focused throughout.

Domaines Schlumberger 2006 Kessler Grand Cru Pinot Gris

Rich and sweet, very soft in texture, a wine that is beautifully ripe and broad. It has a dry core of toast, pepper, with raisins and a final hint of acidity.

Domaines Schlumberger 2008 Kessler Grand Cru Riesling
Beautifully balanced and racy, this is packed with spice and juicy fruit flavors. It layers currants and fresh fruits with a mature hint of toast. This finishes with a fine swathe of delicious fruit.

Domaines Schlumberger 2008 Saering Grand Cru Riesling
- Cellar Selection
- $32
Schlumberger’s practice of aging wine before release means that this is a Riesling well on the way to impressive maturity. It is poised, with an aroma of currant and hints of toast and flower. While drinkable now, this would certainly be worth aging for several more years.
