Key words : Wealth / Finesse / Exoticism

The wine : This Gewurztraminer Grand Cru Steinrubler from the Barmès-Buecher estate is magnificently precise and offers a very fine aroma. The whole is tinged with a particularly charming exoticism revealed in notes of rose, orange blossom, lychee, mango, peach, butter...the list goes on!

The estate: Slocated in Wettolsheim near Colmar and founded in 1985 by Geneviève Buecher and François Barmès by combining their family vines, the Domaine Barmès-Buecher is today one of the jewels of wine-growing Alsace. The conversion to biodynamics was made in 1998 and it is their children Maxime (viticulture and winemaking) and Sophie (communication and sales) who now mainly take care of the 18-hectare property. 95% planted in white (mainly Riesling, Gewürztraminer and Pinot Gris), and evolving on a large mosaic of terroirs specific to Alsace (clay-limestone, marl-sandstone, granite etc.), the family vineyard produces very pure and endowed with a good aging capacity, particularly for all the Grands Crus. The yeasts are of course indigenous and very little sulfur is used in winemaking.
