Key words: Deep / Elegant / Mineral

The wine: The Barmès-Buecher family delights us with their superb Riesling Grand Cru Hengst! This brilliant vintage indeed expresses an extraordinary level of finesse and elegance. Its aromatic is deep, complex, racy and evolves, among other things, with notes of honey, beeswax, lemon, peach and saffron supported by a sublime mineral structure. 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 took place in 1998 and it is their children Maxime (viticulture and winemaking) and Sophie (communication and sales) who today mainly take care of the 18 hectare property. 95% planted in white (mainly Riesling, Gewürztraminer and Pinot Gris), and growing on a large mosaic of terroirs specific to Alsace (clay-limestone, marl-sandstone, granite etc.), the family vineyard produces very pure and with good aging capacity, particularly for all Grands Crus. The yeasts are obviously indigenous and very low doses of sulphites are used in winemaking.
