Vintage Character Domaines Schlumberger Alsace Grand Cru Spiegel Pinot Gris 2022 comes from the Grand Cru Spiegel appellation in Guebwiller, one of southern Alsace’s distinctive hillside crus. The 2022 vintage was warm and generally successful in Alsace, bringing generous ripeness and concentration while preserving enough freshness to keep the wine balanced. Spiegel is known for its well-exposed slopes and sandstone-based soils with clay and sand components, a combination that helps Pinot Gris marry richness with a more lifted, mineral line than sheer opulence alone.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing On the nose, this Pinot Gris shows ripe pear, yellow plum, apricot and quince, layered with hints of white flowers, light smoke, honey and beeswax. The palate is broad and textured, with an off-dry impression cushioned by supple acidity, then tightened by a stony, gently spicy finish that keeps the wine poised rather than heavy. Its combination of fruit depth and mineral tension makes it especially appealing with roast pork loin, veal in a cream sauce, or seared scallops with brown butter.
Winery Background Founded in 1810, Domaines Schlumberger is one of Alsace’s historic family estates and is especially renowned for its holdings on the steep slopes around Guebwiller. The domaine has long emphasized site expression, farming its vineyards sustainably with increasing organic and biodynamic influence, and relying on meticulous hand work in these demanding parcels. In the cellar, the approach is classically Alsatian and precise: careful pressing, controlled fermentation, and élevage designed to preserve the identity of each cru rather than mask it. That fidelity to terroir, combined with a rare concentration of Grand Cru vineyards, makes Schlumberger a benchmark name for serious Alsace whites.
