Domaine Barmes Buecher, Réserve Pinot Noir 2022
The Reputation of Barmes Buecher Pinot Noir is the reason we went to visit them in the first place. The Family do have a special connection with Pinot Noir and Burgundy. Mathilde, the Great-Grand-Mother was sent to Burgundy to learn French. She spent a few year as an au pair at the famed Volnay estaste Marquis d'Angerville. A life loong friendship was made and a love for great Pinot ignited back in Alsace. When planting vineyards with Pinot Noir they choose a Burgundy massale and planted on the best soils in Wettolsheim Grand Cru Hengst! This Pinot Noir Reserve is made from a blend of plots located in Eguisheim and Wettolsheim. The soils are relatively clayey on top of limestone where the vines thrive. This is a Pinot Noir of good fruit maturity. A light punching down and maturation in oak barrels, create a wine rich in elegance and finesse, delivering immediate pleasure.
