Schlumberger are a major producer based in Guebwiller in the south of the Alsace wine region. They have a sizeable vineyard holding:\u00a0Guebwiller is the only village in Alsace with four Grands Crus, and of their 140 hectares of vines, half are Grand Cru.<\/p>\n

This wine, the 2009 vintage of Prince Abb\u00e9s<\/a>, has aged really well. It’s not their most expensive wine, but it delivers, and offers good value for money. It is amazing how well this wine has developed, considering that 2009 was a very ripe, forward vintage.<\/p>\n
