Riesling Schlossberg is a grand cru from the Kaysersberg terroir, on the granite Grand Cru Schlossberg. This terroir gives the grape an expression marked by citrus, lemon, white flowers and a deliciously exotic touch. Dense, racy and taut on the palate, with a fine mineral note. A great gourmet wine!

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated 16/20 (Vintage 2017) (Very good wine)
Domaine rated (guide 2024) 4*Stars (Top-quality producers, the glories of French winegrowing)
About the domain :
Jacky Barthelmé sums it up: "We're very happy with 2021, because it was a winemaker's vintage. Those who were in the vineyards had grapes. It didn't just happen. And the tasting of the range proves him right: Pinot Noirs as successful as ever, beautiful Rieslings, and even Pinot Gris with a drier balance than in the past, which can only delight us.

Rated 18.5/20 (Vintage 2017) (Grand vin)
Domaine rated (guide 2024) 3*Stars (They represent the excellence of the French vineyard. The best terroirs cultivated by the greatest winemakers. Tasting their wines is always a magical experience)
About the domain :
The estate, born of the union of the Mann and Barthelmé families, two great winegrowing lines dating back to the 17th century, produces wines of the highest quality, emblematic of what Alsace can produce. Maurice, an inspired biodynamist and dowser in his spare time, has brought purity to his wines through meticulous work in the vineyard. Jacky and his son Antoine have a highly developed sense of winemaking for both whites and reds. The wines' balance, digestibility and depth make them models for all wine lovers. Their four reds are at the top of Alsace production and among the finest in France. This success has made them rare wines.

Note and review by M. REMY P. Published on 28/02/2021
one of the best rieslings ever drunk in terms of pure quality (perfect balance between bouquet and minerality), but the price (45 euros a bottle) is still rather high. On the site, you'll find Loire whites at around 20 euros that provide as much, if not more, immediate pleasure, but with a different grape variety (Sauvignon or Chenin). Here, we're paying tribute to Albert Mann's reputation. It was a test to see (only one bottle bought), not sure I'd order it again given the price.
