"An unusually lemony, crisp and bold pinot gris. Remarkable structure and vivacity, plus a dry, chalky finish, make this a very pleasant wine to drink. Made from biodynamically grown grapes. Drink now. Screw cap. (James Suckling 2022)

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
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.

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.
