About This Vineyard
We are estate winegrowers who exclusively harvest and produce our own organic wines. A family vineyard established since 1810, nowadays, we are two generations working side by side for a better handover; Alain Beydon-Schlumberger, 6th generation, and Séverine Schlumberger, 7th generation. This vineyard is unique in Alsace : 140 hectares with 70 hectares classified as Grands Crus composed of 4 “terroirs” : Kitterlé, Kessler, Saering, Spiegel. An exeptional location. Situated on the steep hillsides of the Vosges, the vineyard benefits from the best exposures (southwest, south, southeast); its slopes can reach 50°. Because of the Vineyard’s topography and the soil composition we have much lower yields than the average yield of other winegrowers in the region : less than 60 hl/ha for the entire Domaine. Even today, we plough and work with the 4 horses owned by the Domaine. All year long, a team of 4 highly trained masons mend and maintain the 50 kms of walls. We also respect sustained farming (we signed the Tyflo Charter in 2001). 60 hectares are organically farmed, of which 30 hectares are in biodynamic farming, to ensure great, quality wines for future generations.
