Domaine Albert Mann - Pinot Gris Altenbourg Sélections de Grains Nobles - Le Tri 2008 (37,5cl)
Rating: RVF 17.5/20
Successive selections of grapes affected by noble rot (Botrytis), much like the great Sauternes wines, result in this cuvée, which offers a dense, syrupy attack and a crisp, refreshing mid-palate with a delicate effervescence. The range of aromas is complex, featuring candied white-fleshed fruits, quince paste, apricot, honey... A festival of flavors!

A golden yellow color with beautiful highlights
Nose
Characterized by a lovely freshness, it expresses pure aromas of botrytis, dried fruit, orange peel, fig, and spices
Palate
Rich and full-bodied, yet superbly precise thanks to its lovely acidity. This wine has a very spicy core. Its finish is incredibly long-lasting.

Rated estate (2024 guide): 4* Stars (Producers of the very highest quality, the pride of French viticulture)
About the estate:
Jacky Barthelmé puts it bluntly: “We’re very happy with 2021 because it was a winemaker’s vintage. Those who were out in the vineyards got the grapes. It didn’t happen on its own. ” And it’s clear that tasting the range proves him right: Pinot Noirs as successful as ever, Rieslings of great beauty, and even Pinot Gris wines that display a drier balance than in the past—which can only delight us.

Rated estate (2024 guide) 3*Stars (These represent the pinnacle of French winemaking. The finest terroirs cultivated by the greatest winemakers. Tasting their wine is always a magical experience)
About the estate:
The estate, born from the union of the Mann and Barthelmé families—two distinguished lines of winemakers dating back to the 17th century—produces wines of the very highest caliber, emblematic of the finest that Alsace has to offer. Maurice, an inspired biodynamic winemaker and occasional dowser, has brought purity to the wines through meticulous work in the vineyard. Jacky and his son Antoine possess a highly refined sense of winemaking for both whites and reds. The balance of the wines, their approachability, and their depth make them models for all wine lovers. Their four reds are at the pinnacle of Alsatian production and among the finest in France. This success has now made them rare wines.
