Domaine Barmès-Buecher - Alsace Grand Cru - Riesling Hengst 2022

BIODYNAMICS

Key words: Deep / Elegant / Mineral

Wine: The Barmès-Buecher family delights us with their superb Riesling Grand Cru Hengst! This brilliant cuvée indeed expresses an exceptional level of finesse and elegance. Its aromatic is deep, complex, racy and evolves, among other things, on notes of honey, beeswax, lemon, peach and saffron supported by a sublime mineral frame. A very great wine, capable of being appreciated in its youth but which will reveal its incredible complexity after a few years in the cellar. A concentrate of Alsatian happiness to absolutely discover!

The estate: Located in Wettolsheim near Colmar and founded in 1985 by Geneviève Buecher and François Barmès by uniting 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.
