Privat-Weingut Schlumberger-Bernhart – Familienweingut mit Herkunft, Handwerk, Liebe zur Natur – Markgräflerland | Baden

"Das Familienweingut Schlumberger-Bernhart beobachten wir schon seit etlichen Jahren mit großer Freude. Ulrich Bernhart und Tochter Johanna nutzen die vom Jurakalk und Löss geprägten Lagen rund um ihr Heimatdorf Laufen, um unangestrengt-tiefgründige Weine zu keltern. Handarbeit ist dabei Pflicht, aktuell läuft die Umstellung auf biologischen Anbau. Unsere besondere Empfehlung in dem durchweg hochwertigen Sortiment ist der »1G Kracher« Laufen Altenberg Gutedel trocken, der das oft unterschätzte Potenzial der Rebsorte ganz wunderbar zur Geltung bringt."

Wir freuen uns riesig: Im neuen Eichelmann 2026 wurde unser Weingut mit 4,5 Sternen ausgezeichnet – und damit in die Kategorie der Weltklasse-Weingüter aufgenommen!

Diese Auszeichnung erfüllt uns mit großem Stolz. Sie zeigt, dass unsere Leidenschaft, Sorgfalt und der stetige Wunsch, noch besser zu werden, von einem der wichtigsten Weinführer Deutschlands gewürdigt werden.

Eichelmann 2026: Schlumberger-Bernhart als „Weltklasse-Weingut“ – Privat-Weingut Schlumberger-Bernhart

Was für ein schöner Erfolg! Johanna wurde mit dem 1. Platz bei der U30 Trophy von Falstaff ausgezeichnet. Der Chardonnay vom Muggardter Berg, Pinot Noir GG Klosterwingerte und Gutedel -Kracher- Laufener Altenberg wurden mit 94+, 94 und 93+ Punkten bewertet.

"Bei jedem der vier VDP-Güter hat sich in jüngster Vergangenheit viel bewegt, organisatorisch wie stilistisch. Sehr deutlich wird das am Beispiel von Johanna Bernhart. Die Endzwanzigerin führt nach Weinbaustudium und Praxisstationen (u.a. bei Rings und Manincor) seit 2022 den 10-Hektar-Betrieb in Sulzburg-Laufen gemeinsam mit ihrem Vater Ulrich und zeigt von Beginn an ihre Handschrift: lässiger und handwerklicher, aber keineswegs zu natural, leichtfüßig und mit viel Herkunftstypizität. „Momentan haben wir eine ziemlich straighte Aufteilung im Keller: Ich kümmere mich um alles, was im Holzfass liegt, mein Vater macht Edelstahl. Er hat früher teilweise auch schon mit Spontangãrungen gearbeitet und wir haben da keine starren Regeln, ich habe aber wahrscheinlich noch mal ein bisschen Druck gemacht, weshalb wir das jetzt mehr forcieren. Vorallem wärmer und mit viel Trub“, schmunzelt Johanna. Und sie ergänzt direkt: „Mir geht es um Frische und Schlankheit, dafür eignen sich unsere kühlen Ostlagen und Parzellen in Waldnähe perfekt - da sehe ich die Zukunft." Am klarsten zeigt sich die Veränderung beim Gutedel „Kracher" aus dem Laufener Altenberg. Was ursprünglich als Johannas Bachelor-Projekt startete, hat mit der fünften Auflage 2023 (etwas früher gelesen) noch mal einen Tick mehr Frische und Stilsicherheit erlangt und zählt zu den spannendsten, zeitgeistigsten und gleichzeitig herkunftstreuesten Interpretationen dieser Sorte. Auch ihre eigenen Ideen von Chardonnay und Spätburgunder (sowohl die Weingutslinien als auch ihre Eigenedition, die kräutrig-leichte 100%-Ganztrauben-Variante „Stiel und Stängel") sollte man genau im Auge behalten."

95 points as Best Chardonnay 1st place and overall in the top ten as the only Chardonnay among many Rieslings in 4th place at the "LagenCup Weiß 2024 - a Berlin wine competition". Thank you for this great confirmation of our work!

We are delighted that our 2023 Muggardter Berg Chardonnay 1G was awarded 2nd place in the Premium Chardonnay category at Meininger's Pinot Prize.

"The Markgräflerland has been on a roll for a few years now - global warming is clearly helping. But the interaction between the experienced generation and the young generation also seems to be driving many businesses forward, including Ulrich Bernhart's winery, where his daughter Johanna is now playing an increasingly active role. The wines have always been known for their subtle freshness and substantial delicacy. But now the quality seems to have taken another leap forward. We're jumping on board and giving the business a fourth star. Congratulations!"

"One is almost tempted to speak of 'habit' when Johanna and Ulrich Bernhart's collection boasts more than half of the wines with over 90 points. But this time the two of them are upping the ante. Sure, you could say that this is due to the special 2022 vintage, from which almost half of the wines come - but that would only be half the truth. Because in fact, here - and also in the following 2023 vintage - the meticulous work in the vineyard and cellar is paying off. It goes without saying that the Gutedel from the Erste Lage Kracher is a speciality, which once again confirms its exceptional status. Our tip this time is the animating Sauvignon Blanc. It is not just its skilfully balanced varietal typicality, but above all its
Freshness and excitement that please."

“…If more than half of a dozen submitted samples receive at least 90 points, you have to take your hat off . The two Gutedels are in a class of their own, which of course is especially true for the Kracher – growing and vinifying it in a prime location shows courage…”

We are very pleased to be awarded the title “ Baden Winery of the Year ” in the latest edition of the Vinum Wine Guide , as well as being promoted to 3.5 stars.

“The title of “Baden Winery of the Year” was awarded to the private winery Schlumberger-Bernhart, which has made the leap to the top with its current wine collection. And, as the editors expressly emphasize, this is not the end of the positive development.”

“What Ulrich Bernhart has once again bottled with razor-sharp precision this year is impressive. Even the simple Gutedel makes it clear where this winery is headed: on the one hand, the wine is really fun and completely uncomplicated to drink, but on the other hand, it is so dry and uncompromising in the glass that even demanding connoisseurs get their money's worth. But there is a second Gutedel this year. It is called Kracher and was created as part of daughter Johanna's bachelor's thesis. Instead of describing the wine, I would just like to ask the young talent: Johanna, please, keep it up. When you get to the Grand Crus in the quality pyramid, you should take your time. Because these are quiet wines that do not reveal their charms to everyone at first. But if you give them a little air, they impress with their delicate spiciness and fine use of wood. As for the red wines: the higher you go in terms of quality, the more shaggy the wines become - in a positive sense. If the estate wine is enjoyable because it is easy to drink, the Große Gewächs has one or two things that you can rub up against. This is enjoyment at a very high level. A great collection with which the winery is on course for star number four.”

“…Ulrich Bernhart works as usual with his usual millimeter-precise precision and meticulousness: The great wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir can also hold their own in a supra-regional comparison . A strong performance!…”

We are delighted to announce our promotion to 4 grapes in the Gault&Millau Wine Guide 2024.

"At the Schlumberger-Bernhart winery, daughter Johanna has joined the winery after studying viticulture and oenology and gaining experience at home and abroad. She now looks after the vineyard and cellar together with her father Ulrich. Mother Claudia is primarily responsible for the hotel. It is very important to Johanna that the vineyards continue to be managed as naturally as possible. In the cellar, many wines are spontaneously fermented in wooden barrels. The company's focus continues to be on Burgundy varieties and Chasselas."

"There are wineries where it is difficult to decide on a recommendation because their collection as a whole is so impressive , and this year that is the case with the Schlumberger-Bernhart winery. Here every wine is a recommendation . The wines are not powerhouses, but finely structured representatives of grape varieties. The winery is great at handling wood, so nothing is too loud, the aromas are perfectly integrated and the wines have a great structure throughout. As an example, we mention the Fumé, which is a prime example of Sauvignon Blanc from the wooden barrel. The Pinot Noir from the monastery vineyard also demonstrates the great handling of wood: It has a delicate aroma of dark cherry, cocoa and cedar wood and a fine tannin structure, yet it is clear and precise - that's fun!"

"The Schlumberger-Bernhart winery has been setting standards in the Markgräfler Land for many years. The Burgundy varieties find their own distinctive expression here, and the Gutedel also gains its own profile, especially the Kracher from the Laufener Altenberg."

"The relatively small vineyard area of ​​ten hectares allows them to carry out all the work themselves, explain Ulrich Bernhart and his daughter Johanna, who share the work in the vineyard and cellar. Sustainability and healthy soils are prerequisites for good terroir wines. These have an unmistakable signature: with a focus on fresh, lean concentration and juiciness. Johanna Bernhart's >Kracher<, a bold interpretation of the Gutedel grape matured in barriques, has once again grown compared to last year."

**** "Excellent winery - The basic line "vom Löss" shows a reliable, high level again this year. (...) The white Großes Gewächs, vintage 2021, which now bear the addition "Klosterwingerte", are very strong again this year. (...) The highlight of the reds is, as usual, the Pinot Noir Großes Gewächs, it shows intense fruit, some floral notes, is full-bodied and powerful, has substance and tannins"
