Producer profile

Bruno Schueller

In the village of Husseren-les-Châteaux, southwest of Colmar, Gérard Schueller began bottling his wines at the estate in the 1950s, and his son Bruno joined him in 1982. Bruno Schueller is a member of the 'Gang of Five' of Alsace, a group of Alsatian winemakers considered the first to produce natural wines in the region, along with Pierre Frick, Christian Binner, Jean-Pierre Rietsch, and Patrick Meyer.

The estate spans 10 hectares planted with Alsatian grape varieties around Husseren-les-Châteaux, including Rebgarten (Sylvaner), Stich (Riesling, Pinot Gris), Hohrain (Pinot Gris, Gewurztraminer) and Valdele (Pinot Noir), and on Eguisheim (Grand Cru Eichberg and Grand Cru Pfersigberg). Farming is biodynamic, with attention to leaf cover and soil health. Bruno's approach is loosely guided by biodynamics without seeking certification.

The goal is slow and gentle ripening through management of leaf cover, and Bruno routinely harvests several weeks later than his neighbors while achieving the same sugar levels before fermentation. Many of his whites are throwbacks to 19th-century-style winemaking, when it was normal for Alsatian wines to finish malolactic fermentation in foudre.

Wine region

Alsace, France

The Alsace wine region is located in northeastern France along the Rhine River. It stretches from Marlenheim in the north to Thann in the south, encompassing a landscape influenced by French and German cultures. The Vosges Mountains to the west create a rain shadow effect, making Alsace one of the driest wine regions in France, with a microclimate suited to viticulture.

Alsace's vineyards cover approximately 15,500 hectares and produce wines under three main appellations: Alsace AOC, Alsace Grand Cru AOC, and Crémant d'Alsace AOC. The Alsace AOC includes white, rosé, and red wines, while Alsace Grand Cru AOC designates the region's top vineyard sites, focused on four noble grape varieties: Riesling, Pinot Gris, Muscat, and Gewurztraminer.
