"A perfect balance between freshness and maturity"
A burst of citrus, exotic fruits, and mint in a lively wine from a vineyard planted in 1972. Precise, intense, and mineral, it pairs wonderfully with bouchées à la reine!

Wine rated (2026 guide) 94/100 (2023 vintage)
Rated estate (2020 guide): 3*Stars (High-quality production that serves as a benchmark in its sector)
About the estate:
Maxime Barmès and his sister Sophie are now in charge of the estate, with their mother Geneviève still very much involved. The vineyard spans nearly 19 hectares and has been cultivated for over a decade according to biodynamic principles, with increasingly advanced practices (such as sheep and beehives in certain vineyards, and tree plantings). With each vintage, the wines seem to gain in intensity and dryness—a development we can only welcome. The estate’s greatest successes are, without a doubt, the Pinot Noirs and Rieslings, year after year. The estate has just released a 2009 old-vine Pinot Noir from the Hengst grand cru—though it cannot yet claim that designation—a wine that was vinified at the time by François Barmès, two years before his tragic accident.

Rated Estate (2021 Guide) Award-Winning Wines (This producer's wines regularly receive awards from the guide)
About the estate:
Founded in 1985 by Geneviève Buecher and François Barmès—both descendants of families of winegrowers and estate owners dating back to the 17th century—this estate is located 5 km southwest of Colmar. Operated biodynamically since 1998 (certified in 2001), it now comprises 7 terroirs, including 3 grands crus. Following the passing of their father in 2011, the founding couple’s two children, Sophie and Maxime (in the cellar), joined the business.

Wine rated (2026 guide) 94/100 (2023 vintage)
Rated Estate (2021 Guide) 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often boasting fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that, thanks to the consistency and excellence of their wines, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers)
About the estate:
Maxime Barmès, supported at the estate by his mother Geneviève and his sister Sophie, builds upon and continues the work established nearly thirty years ago to maintain the wines’ quality at the highest level. Rigorous work in the vineyard—using biodynamic methods—and careful monitoring in the cellar make this estate one of the most reputable in the region. The most recent vintages are exemplary: the wines have gained in precision, and the grands crus belong to the select circle of great wines, with exceptional longevity when exposed to air and the ability to improve over several days.
