RVF
“The enveloping aroma of yellow roses draws you into this concentrated yet very pure Gewürztraminer. It flows so gracefully across the palate that you really can’t tell how much alcohol it contains (14%), and the sweetness also remains in the background. A very complex finish with numerous exotic notes. Made from biodynamically grown grapes. Drink now or cellar. ” (James Suckling 2022)

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 lineup 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.

Wine rated (2022 guide) 95/100
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 wine:
Furstentum offers added body and depth, infused with subtle, savory bitterness—a harmonious and inspired wine.
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 rank among the very best of Alsace and are among the finest in France. This success has now made them rare wines.

The enveloping aroma of yellow roses draws you into this concentrated yet very pure Gewürztraminer. It flows so gracefully across the palate that you really can’t tell how much alcohol it contains (14%), and the sweetness also takes a back seat. A very complex finish with numerous exotic notes.
