Domaine Barmès-Buecher - Alsace - Pinot Noir Réserve 2021

BIODYNAMIC

Key words : Gourmand / Spicy / Elegant

The wine: The "Réserve" vintage from the Barmès-Buecher family is a Reference Pinot noir in Alsace whose aging in old oak barrels for 10 months allows it to develop a nice material. The palate is deep, structured, gourmand and reveals notes of black cherry, blackberry, strawberry and raspberry. A spicy touch of pepper and vanilla completes an aromatic palette of a beautiful general complexity. An Alsatian delicacy that can be enjoyed now but which will give its best after a few years of aging.

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 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 sulphites doses are very low in winemaking.
