Domaine Barmes Buecher, 'Riesling' 2022
This Riesling bottling is made as a fruit driven wines unlike the rest of the range which is terroir focused. The grapes are coming from various terroirs, mainly sandy and loamy plots situated in the plain but also a selection of all the younger vines across the Domaine. Traditionally aged in large oak foudre as well as stainless steel for 10 months on lees. Fronted by lime citrus that softens into more crisp orchard fruit on the palate. There is good weight and texture providing added length and complexity. Thirst quenching Riesling in its most delectable expression.

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.
