When Bruno Schueller joined the domaine in 1982, he took over 5 hectares of vineyards from his father, Gérard. Today, the estate has expanded to approximately 10 hectares of owned vineyards, with an additional 4 hectares under lease. Bruno worked closely with his father in both the vineyards and the cellar until Gérard's passing in 2022. Continuing a strict philosophy passed down from Gérard’s generation, the domaine has never used chemical fertilizers. Their holdings include Grand Cru sites in Eguisheim and Husseren-les-Châteaux, notably Pfersigberg and Eichberg, while one of their most distinctive terroirs is the lieu-dit Bildstoecklé in Obermorschwihr, just south of Eguisheim.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBruno produces around 40 cuvées, with approximately 25 wines released each year. Each cuvée is carefully adapted to the character of the vintage, reflecting a deep sensitivity to the interplay between grape variety, terroir, and climate. His philosophy is intuitive and precise—he seeks to understand what the grapes require and guides them accordingly. As a result, even wines from the same vineyard and grape variety can vary significantly from year to year.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e“The Icon of Vin Nature Who Does Not Produce Vin Nature.”\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Schuellers have farmed biodynamically for decades, without the use of herbicides or chemical fertilisers, although they have chosen not to pursue formal certification. Bruno is open in sharing his philosophy with like-minded growers, yet remains independent and unaffiliated with any particular group or association.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStrongly independent in spirit, Bruno believes winemaking should remain free from rigid frameworks. While inspired by biodynamic principles, he prioritises flexibility in order to respond to each vintage and craft the best possible wine.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAs Bruno puts it: “I don’t believe I produce Vin Nature, because wine cannot be born spontaneously. It is the collaboration between artisanal skill and nature that creates great wine.” He prefers to describe his wines as “Vin Libre.” Nevertheless, his wines are widely regarded as benchmarks of the natural wine movement.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIn the cellar, Bruno works with minimal intervention. No sulphur is added during vinification, fermentations proceed naturally to very low residual sugar, and malolactic fermentation is allowed. The wines are typically golden, aromatic, and expressive, with notable purity, density, energy, and a dry, mineral finish.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThese wines often diverge from the conventional expectations of Alsatian varietal styles, and some cuvées have not passed INAO sensory approval. This has not deterred Bruno. Produced in small quantities, his wines are highly sought after by dedicated enthusiasts, particularly in natural wine bars and restaurants. To maintain his independence, he is gradually moving away from official bodies such as INAO and CIVA, with plans to release his wines as Vin de France.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/vinetsake.wordpress.com\/category\/wine\/gerard-schueller\/\" title=\"Gérard Schueller Alsace\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u0026gt;\u0026gt;\u0026gt;Read more stories at the News Archive\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"6369-gerard-schueller-alsace-riesling-le-verre-est-dans-le-fruit-2014-750ml","title":"[6369] GERARD SCHUELLER ALSACE RIESLING LE VERRE EST DANS LE FRUIT 2014 750ml","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis wine originates from the Grand Cru Pfersigberg vineyard.

The name is said to come from the many wild peach trees that once grew around the vineyard. According to legend, grape growing began here as early as Roman times, and the vineyard’s name appears in documents from the 16th century, making it a site with a remarkably long and noble history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt lies on a steep east- to southeast-facing slope at an altitude of 260 to 330 metres.

It has a slightly edgy impression immediately after uncorking, but after about 30 minutes, the fruit flavours open up, bringing the whole wine into good balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0825\/9728\/2020\/files\/bruno_schueller_02_900x1200_9370418a-09bc-4acf-a29e-1375d55d9e42.jpg?v=1784021250\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vin et Saké Nature","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49397894021348,"sku":"F02050003BBJ2013","price":320.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0825\/9728\/2020\/files\/gerard_schueller_pinot_gris_2013_02_735x735_c69a2949-9652-4688-b62f-b1523c623d6e.jpg?v=1784022790"},{"product_id":"6371-gerard-schueller-alsace-pinot-gris-reserve-2014-750ml","title":"[6371] GERARD SCHUELLER ALSACE PINOT GRIS RESERVE 2014 750ml","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"D5aOJc vJwDU\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBruno Schueller’s wines are all masterpieces, but each is so individual that it is hard to say which is the best.

The most fascinating part about Pinot Blanc is its genetic background. Pinot Noir is genetically highly unstable and prone to mutation. When Pinot Noir (black) loses its pigment, it becomes Pinot Gris (grey), and a further loss of pigment leads to the final mutation: Pinot Blanc (white). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the grapes look so much like Chardonnay, it seems they were often confused and cultivated as Chardonnay in many vineyards around the world until around the 1980s. In contrast to aromatic varieties with intense aromas like Gewürztraminer or Sauvignon Blanc, it is generally considered to have a very mild and approachable character. In terms of palate structure, its acidity is relatively mild and soft compared to Riesling, offering a pleasant roundness and fleshiness on the mouthfeel. This moderate weight and richness are part of what makes it so easy to pair with food.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn France, it is usually used in small amounts for blending in Alsace’s Crémant or in Champagne, though unique exceptions exist, such as Cédric Bouchard’s La Bolorée, which is crafted from 100% Pinot Blanc (called \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eBlanc Vrai in Champagne). Bruno Schueller releases various cuvées made from 100% Pinot Blanc, but every single one of them is completely different from the typical characteristics of the grape described earlier. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to Schueller’s trademark sharp acidity and intense concentration, there is an edgy, pleasant astringency—likely coming from the skins and seeds—and a minerality so vivid you can almost see the crystals. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/vinetsakenature.com\/collections\/natural-wine-gerard-schueller\" title=\"Gerard Schueller Alsace\"\u003eIn Schueller's wines, the distinct expression of each grape variety—be it Riesling, Gewürztraminer, Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc, or Chasselas—shines through clearly, yet every cuvée is anchored by that unmistakable \"Schueller feel\" of unique acidity and concentration.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile this Pinot Blanc H 2017 magnum has spent nearly a decade since harvest, I would estimate it is only about 60% of the way through its development.

The Pinot Blanc III KL 2014 (750ml) is also available, and this one is about 80% developed.

Believed to have originated around Lake Geneva, it is also cultivated in the Savoie and Alsace regions of France. In Alsace, it seems that Chasselas is almost always used for blending in Edelzwicker, which suggests that a single-varietal Chasselas cuvée might be a true rarity. Frankly speaking, this was our very first time coming across one as well. Since we don't remember ever really drinking a Swiss Chasselas by the bottle either, we don't have much to say about the variety itself, but we can certainly introduce it from the perspective of being one of Bruno Schueller's wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe defining characteristic of Chasselas is its neutral and gentle flavor profile. The variety itself possesses very little distinctive aroma or flavor, and because of this, it is known as a grape that faithfully reflects the unique character of its terroir. While it is often crafted into casual wines meant for enjoying a light, youthful freshness, there are also grands vins shaped by the hands of exceptional producers that are capable of aging for ten years or more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow, as for this Chasselas crafted by Bruno Schueller, it is a wine that reveals itself as a Schueller creation from the very first sip, characterized by a piercing, razor-sharp acidity and remarkable concentration. It is probably worlds apart from what people expect from a Chasselas. What struck us as slightly different from Schueller’s other wines, however, was the impressive, gentle sweetness of the fruit. As time passes, the fruity and floral elements develop even greater depth and breadth. Since this is a 2017 vintage, it has aged for nearly a decade—a magnificent finish that delivers a sense of fulfillment, almost at its absolute peak.
