"The character and subtlety of the Riesling come through beautifully"
“This giant, with its granite-like minerality, also boasts an incredible intensity of Amalfi lemon and lemon blossom aromas that envelop its mineral core. Very compact yet graceful, the wet-stone minerality develops and lingers on the finish.” (James Suckling 2024)

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 (2026 guide) 96/100
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:
A model of balance, the Schlossberg is firmer, more taut, and crystal-clear, with a beautifully defined profile and a lingering finish.
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.

Wine rated (2025 guide) 97/100
About the wine:
The 2023 Schlossberg Grand Cru Riesling, grown on this iconic granite terroir, shines with its superbly fragrant aromas of mirabelle plum and lemon, the result of a yield of just 17 hl/ha. Malolactic fermentation was avoided in this wine, which was fermented in stainless steel tanks, further enhancing its superb, piercing linearity that so perfectly reflects this hard granite. A peppery note enhances this beautiful aromatic liveliness, which only underscores its purity, precision, and balance. (Very dry)
