List of products by brand SCHRÖDER & SCHŸLER
Founded in 1739, Schröder & Schÿler stands among the oldest family négociants in Bordeaux. Eight generations of the Schÿler family have guided this House from the quays of the Cours du Médoc, building an intimate knowledge of the Gironde's vineyards and appellations.
A négociant House rooted in Bordeaux history
It was in 1739 that Jacob Schröder and Jean Schÿler laid the foundations of what would become one of the most enduring addresses in the Bordeaux wine trade. Established on the Cours du Médoc — the historic artery of Bordeaux's left-bank négociant quarter — the House has remained at that same address for nearly three centuries. This is not merely a matter of longevity: it reflects a continuity of purpose and a consistent relationship with the vineyards and producers of the Gironde that few négociants can match.
Eight generations of the Schÿler family
What distinguishes Schröder & Schÿler within the Bordeaux place is the unbroken family succession at its helm. Yann Schÿler, the eighth generation of his family to lead the House, carries forward a tradition of direct engagement with Bordeaux's appellations — selecting, blending, and bringing to market wines that reflect the breadth and character of the region. In a trade where ownership changes hands with increasing frequency, this generational continuity is both a commercial strength and a statement of values. The Schÿler name has been synonymous with Bordeaux négociant integrity since the eighteenth century.
Proprietors of Château Kirwan, Grand Cru Classé 1855
Beyond its négociant activity, the Schÿler family has been proprietor of Château Kirwan since 1925. Situated in the Margaux appellation, Château Kirwan holds the distinction of a Grand Cru Classé in the celebrated 1855 Classification — one of Bordeaux's most authoritative benchmarks. This ownership reinforces the House's credentials as a serious actor within the Bordeaux hierarchy, with a direct stake in the quality and reputation of one of the Médoc's classified growths.
The wines of Schröder & Schÿler
The House produces and selects across the principal colours of Bordeaux:
- Reds — structured, appellation-driven Bordeaux reds drawing on the Gironde's classic varieties, suited to the cellar as much as the table.
- Whites — dry whites reflecting the breadth of Bordeaux's white wine tradition, from the crisp and aromatic to the more textured and age-worthy styles.
The range is built around coherence and typicity: wines that speak clearly of their appellation and that reward the attention of a confirmed amateur.
Why we have selected Schröder & Schÿler
At Halles Quercamps, we look for producers and Houses whose credentials are grounded in something real — whether that is terroir, family continuity, or a demonstrable relationship with their appellation. Schröder & Schÿler offers all three. Founded in 1739 and still led by the same family nearly three centuries later, the House brings a depth of Bordeaux knowledge that is difficult to replicate. Its ownership of Château Kirwan, a classified growth in Margaux, further anchors its position within the Bordeaux hierarchy. We recommend these wines to confirmed amateurs who approach Bordeaux with seriousness — those building a cellar, seeking a reliable négociant reference, or looking for a gift that carries genuine historical weight. At the table, the reds pair naturally with roast lamb, duck confit, or a well-aged hard cheese; the whites are well suited to grilled fish or a simple plateau de fruits de mer.
