"The Riesling Rosenberg Vendanges Tardives 2020 comes from vines over 50 years old in a parcel called Pfleck within the Rosenberg. It was harvested three times: at maturity, with partial botrytis and full botrytis. The nose merges orange peel with ripe peach and adds a touch of lemon. On the palate, botrytized peach roundness is bordered by apricot compote. The finish is wonderfully taut, bright, lively and defined by a glorious drizzle of lemon. Enthusiastic and sweet, but not too sweet, with 72g/L residual sweetness." (Vinous 2023)

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.
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
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.

About the wine:
This Riesling has great purity, with vibrant aromas of Amalfi lemon and yellow peach. Wonderful interplay between very mineral acidity, refined fruit and delicate sweetness for this category. Brilliant finish that feels like landing in an endless loop of Mozart's Queen of the Night aria! Made from biodynamically grown grapes. For drinking or cellaring.
