Steingrubler – Stone quarry
The Steingrubler Grand Cru vineyard in Wettolsheim has a complex terroir consisting of clay-marl limestone soils on granitic sands. Our south and east facing vines flourish here due to the mineral and climatic complexity of the environment. This Grand Cru parcel produces round, elegant and refined wines with good ageing potential.

Description

Balance, harmony, and the quest for the truest and purest expression of varietal, vintage, and terroir: these are the goals of Barmès Buecher.

The Domaine was created in1985 by François Barmès and Geneviève Barmès (born Buecher) with vineyards that had been in their families since the 17th century.In 1995 the vibrant couple converted the Domaine to biodynamics, working in accordance to the cycle of the planets and the moon. The goal was simple: to encourage the vines to return to their natural state of being that had been masked by modern man’s agriculture and to encourage each vine to find harmony and balance. Barmès Buecher is a Domaine with a unique energy and harmony. Geneviève and François, aided by their children, Sophie and Maxime, have sixteen hectares of vines that each year produce wines that respond to the ebb and flow of Mother Nature and which always carry the Barmès signature. A bottle of Barmès Buecher is the result of carefully orchestrated work that occurs day in and day out 365 days a year with the sole goal of extracting the truest and purest expression of varietal, vintage, and terroir.
