"An Alsatian Pinot Noir with a Burgundian accent!"

"Excellent concentration, ample fine-grained tannins, and bright acidity are all assets for a medium-bodied palate. It needs a little aeration for its aromas of spice, licorice, and sour cherry to blossom. The finish is very structured but silky, long and fresh. Needs a little time to show its best."

Rated estate (2024 guide) 4 stars (Producers of very high quality, those who are the pride of French vineyards)

About the estate:

Jacky Barthelmé sums it up bluntly: "We are very happy with 2021 because it was a winemaker's vintage. Those who were in the vineyards got grapes. It didn't happen by itself. " And it must be said that tasting the range proves him right: the Pinot Noirs are as successful as ever, the Rieslings are beautiful, and even the Pinot Gris wines are more dry than in the past, which can only delight us.

Rated estate (2024 guide) 3 stars (These represent the excellence of French vineyards. The best terroirs cultivated by the greatest winemakers. Tasting their wine is always a magical moment.)

About the estate:

The estate, born from the union of the Mann and Barthelmé families, two great winemaking dynasties since the 17th century, produces wines of the highest quality, emblematic of the very best that Alsace has to offer. Maurice, an inspired biodynamic farmer and part-time water diviner, has brought purity to the wines through meticulous work in the vineyard. Jacky and his son Antoine have a keen sense of winemaking for both whites and reds. The balance of the wines, their digestibility, and their depth make them models for all wine lovers. Their four reds are at the top of Alsatian production and among the finest in France. This success has made them rare wines.

About wine:

Pale lime green color. The initial aromas are a sweet note of brioche combined with a granite minerality. This is followed by dragon fruit and lime. The palate is very pure and refined, with Riesling acidity that tickles the palate, making you want to eat, and an intriguing juiciness reminiscent of pineapple. (BR)

About wine:

Excellent concentration, ample fine-grained tannins and bright acidity are all assets for a medium-bodied palate. It needs a little aeration for its aromas of spices, licorice, and sour cherry to blossom. The finish is very structured yet silky, long and fresh. Needs a little time to give its best. Made from biodynamically grown grapes. Approximately 20% whole clusters. Ready to drink now, but best from 2026 onwards.
