Live From the Vines: Domaines Schlumberger
Hosted by Ronan Sayburn MS, Séverine Schlumberger & Thomas Schlumberger
Established in 1810 and now into its seventh generation of family ownership, Schlumberger is blessed with 130ha of glorious Alsace terroir, over half of which is Grand Cru.
Today’s custodians – Séverine and Thomas Schlumberger – tend to their cherished land in exacting and classical fashion, with two franc-comtois horses employed to plough and work the vineyards, while a pair of stonemasons continually maintain the 50km of dry-stone walls built along the contours of slopes which can reach 50°.
Séverine and Thomas introduce Ronan Sayburn MS to their dramatically backdropped estate and a line-up of scented wines crafted from noble varietals – Riesling, Pinot Gris and Gewurztraminer – which have helped mould the reputation of both Schlumberger and its homeland.
