"The imprint and subtlety of Riesling are sublimely asserted".

"At once ripe, concentrated, focused and flinty, this is a highly expressive dry Riesling with a salty minerality that develops and builds to a crescendo on the finish. As pure as a mountain stream and as spectacular as the waterfall as it cascades over the precipice." (James Suckling 2023)

Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Bettane & Desseauve

Domaine rated (2024 guide) 4*Stars (Top-quality producers, the glories of French winegrowing)

About the domain :

Jacky Barthelmé sums it up bluntly: "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.

Wine rated (2024 guide) 95/100

Domain rated (guide 2024) 3*Stars (They represent the excellence of French vineyards. The best terroirs cultivated by the greatest winemakers. Tasting their wine is always a magical moment)

About the wine:

The rocky, crystalline expression of the Schlossberg is a wine of great clarity of flavor, whose straight, firm structure will require a little time to soften.

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, delivers 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.

About the wine:

At once ripe, concentrated, focused and flinty, this is a highly expressive dry Riesling with a salty minerality that develops and builds to a crescendo on the finish. As pure as a mountain stream and as spectacular as the waterfall as it cascades over the precipice. Made from biodynamically grown grapes. For drinking or cellaring.
