Domaine Barmés Buecher Riesling 2021

Domaine Barmès-Buecher, located in the heart of the Alsace region, just a few kilometres from Colmar and Eguisheim, was founded in 1985 by Geneviève Barmès (née Buecher) and her husband François Barmès. They combined the land holdings of their respective families, who had owned vines in Wettolsheim, one of the region’s largest wine growing towns, since the 17th century.

 

Geneviève and François chose to grow their vines using biodynamic practices, which places the emphasis on a respect for nature, life forces and natural cycles. The Domaine’s 15 hectares were converted to biodynamic growing in 1998 and have been certified biodynamic since the 2001 vintage.

 

This form of wine growing allows a closer relationship with the terroir and a better understanding of the environment surrounding the vine and the wine grower.

Domaine Barmes-Buecher Riesling Vins d Fruit 2021
From 17 hectares of own-grown fruit, biodynamic since late 1990s, certified early 2000s. Hello Alsace.
Exciting producer.

Bright and clean, rich lemon scents and flavours, some dried apple, gentle fruity sweetness but a very cool, green mango finish with some steely, talc-like mineral characters. Touches of woody spice to finish. Really delightful, tight and dry style. Lovely!
