Description
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 Rosenberg Lieux Dits Riesling 2021
Posted on 15 May 2023.
From a richer soil profile that includes clay and marl, touch of limestone. The idea being that the wines have a bit of extra bandwidth from here. Importer: QED
Scents of ripe apple, lemon blossom, peach, nectarine, touches of pineapple and some flinty mineral things. Creamy in the palate but finishes with a nice clatter of tangy acidity and some waxy texture. Vibrant, refreshing through that lingering acid profile. Very elegant, is the feel, potent, but with balance.
