With a single holding of more than 330 acres in Guebwiller, Domaines Schlumberger is the largest Grands Crus producer in Alsace. All Schlumberger wines are estate-grown. Because of the aridity and steepness of the domains, the yields are about 50 percent of the average for the appellation of Alsace. The resulting grapes are very high quality and have exceptional flavor concentration.

For over 200 years, the Schlumberger family has devoted itself to farming the vineyards with passion, dedication and respect to the environment.

The Les Princes Abbés range is the Schlumberger family’s tribute to the Abbots who were the first to sell wine from Guebwiller. 

The Domaines Schlumberger Gewurztraminer Les Princes Abbés comes from the Bollenberg and Bux plots and from young vines from the Schlumberger family's Grands Crus plots.

Slow, pneumatic pressing was followed by static racking. Fermentation in thermo‐regulated tuns for one to four months. Maturation on lees from six to eight months.

The robe is lemon yellow with green reflections of good intensity. The disk is bright, limpid and transparent. The nose is marked, pleasant and intense, with overripe and exotic scents, passion fruit, mango, papaya, spices, white pepper and ginger. The maturity of the grapes and the perfect state of health enhance the range of flavors. The nervousness is still a bit dominated by the mellowness of the wine. The addictive range of flavors provides a lot of pleasure.

This wine can be highlighted with spicy cuisines, such as Thai, Chinese, and Creole, and pairs beautifully with soft and washed-ring cheeses. The suggested serving temperature is 54°F.
