Founded by Nicolas Schlumberger in 1810, Domaines Schlumberger produce 100% estate-bottled wines from southern Alsace. Today, the 6th and 7th generations carry on the family tradition. Because of the aridity and steepness of these domaines, the yields are about 50% of the average for the appellation of Alsace. The result is small yields of the highest quality grapes with exceptional concentration of flavor. The Schlumberger vineyards are the largest in Alsace, and in fact, one of the largest blocks of contiguous vineyards in all of France
