Domaine Barmès-Buecher - Alsace - Pinot Noir Réserve 2021

BIODYNAMICS

The words clés : Gourmand / Spicy / Elegant

The wine: The "Réserve" vintage from the Barmès-Buecher family is a Pinot noir of reference in Alsace whose aging in old oak barrels for 10 months allows the development of a pretty material. The palate is deep, structured, greedy and reveals notes of black cherry, blackberry, strawberry and raspberry. A spicy touch of pepper and vanilla completes an aromatic palette of good overall complexity. An Alsatian delight that can be enjoyed now but will give its best after a few years of cellaring.

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