Domaine Barmes Buecher, Riesling Rosenberg 2023
‘The interplay of restrained juiciness, cool peach and melon aromas and chalky minerality on the medium-bodied palate is so delightful. The mint and flint character lifts this in a beautiful way in the very long and precise finish. Matured in a big neutral oak foudre plus a couple of small barrels. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold.’

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.
