"Magnificent nose of fresh raspberries, with hints of cedar, leather and spices. Pure and salivating on the palate, it's ample and greedy, and we're delighted by these aromas of fresh strawberries drizzled with powdered sugar." (Le Figaro 2024)

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated domain (2020 guide) 3*Stars (High-quality production that sets the standard in its sector)
About the domain :
Maxime Barmès and his sister Sophie are now in charge of the estate, with their mother Geneviève still present. A vineyard of almost 19 hectares, cultivated for over a decade according to the precepts of biodynamic viticulture and with increasingly advanced practices (sheep and beehives in certain vineyards, tree planting...). With each passing vintage, the wines seem to gain in tension and dry spirit, which we can only welcome. The greatest successes at the domaine are without hesitation the Pinot Noirs and Rieslings, year after year. The estate has just released a 2009 Pinot Noir Vieilles Vignes from the Hengst Grand Cru, a wine that was vinified by François Barmès two years before his tragic accident.
Guide Hachette des vins
Rated domain (2021 guide) Award-winning wines (Wines from this producer regularly win awards in the guide)
About the domain :
Born in 1985 from the marriage of Geneviève Buecher and François Barmès, both heirs to winemaker-owner families dating back to the 17th century, this estate is located 5 km southwest of Colmar. Biodynamically farmed since 1998 (certified in 2001), it now boasts 7 terroirs, including 3 grands crus. After the death of their father in 2011, the two children of the founding couple, Sophie and Maxime (in the cellar), joined the estate.

Rated domain (2021 guide) 2*Stars (These great estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, because of their consistency and the excellence of their production, must be included in the cellars of discerning connoisseurs.)
About the domain :
Maxime Barmès, supported on the domaine by his mother Geneviève and his sister Sophie, confirms and continues the work he has been doing for almost thirty years to maintain the quality of his wines at the highest level. Rigorous biodynamic work in the vineyard and careful monitoring in the cellar make this estate one of the most serious in the region. The latest vintages are exemplary: the wines have gained in precision, and the grands crus are in the inner circle of great wines, with exceptional air-holding capacity, capable of improving over several days.
