Domaine Barmes Buecher, Pinot Gris Rosenberg 2022
A thread that can be found across all wines produced at Barmes Buecher is their ability to make refreshing and vibrant wines from grapes that are notoriously heavy/oily in character. Check out the Grand Cru Steingrubler Gewurztraminer for example, a true class act! This is also the case with Pinot Gris Rosenberg. The 2022 took almost 2 years to fully ferment, as the Barmes are keen for each wines to be set free, they waited. The result is impressive. The nose is expressive of ripe stone fruits and freshly cut button mushrooms complemented with their signature zippy freshness on the palate.

Alsace is a hive of young talents, having witnessed first-hand Sophie and Maxime Barmès blossom in their roles at the family’s Domaine has been an absolute privilege. Under the guidance of their mum Genevieve, they form an incredible and determined trio. Maxime is leading the work both in the vineyards and the cellars. Sophie is looking after all the commercial side, while Genevieve binds all projects and welcome guests at the winery. The adventure started in 1985 when Genevieve Barmes and Francois Buecher married in Wettolsheim combining their family holdings together. Their goal was to convert to organic viticulture. Their quest towards quality followed in 1998 with a move towards Biodynamic farming. The Domaine was certified in 2001.
