"An Alsatian Pinot Noir with a Burgundian flair!"

“Excellent concentration, full-bodied, fine-grained tannins, and brilliant acidity all contribute to a medium-bodied palate. It needs a little time to breathe for its aromas of spices, licorice, and tart cherry to unfold. The finish is very structured yet silky, long, and fresh. It needs a little time to reach its full potential.” (James Suckling 2025)

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.

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 rank among the very best of Alsace and are among the finest in France. This success has now made them rare wines.

About the wine:

Pale lime-green color. The initial aromas feature a sweet note of freshly baked brioche combined with a granite-like minerality. This is followed by dragon fruit and lime. The palate is very clean and refined, with Riesling-like acidity that tickles the palate, whetting your appetite, and an intriguing juiciness reminiscent of pineapple. (BR)

Rated winery (2023 guide) Recommended

About the wine:

Its excellent concentration, full-bodied, fine-grained tannins, and bright acidity all contribute to a medium-bodied palate. It needs a little time to breathe so that its aromas of spices, licorice, and tart cherry can fully unfold. The finish is very structured yet silky, long, and fresh. It needs a little time to reach its full potential. Made from biodynamically grown grapes. Approximately 20% whole clusters. Ready to drink now, but will be best from 2026 onward.
