Domaine Barmes-Buecher Wine
Wettolsheim, Alsace
Francois Barmes who runs this young domaine is another vigneron who is dedicated to producing 'vins de terroir'. He is a real perfectionist and practices biodynamic viticulture. The extensive range includes several lieux dits and Grand Crus in each grape variety. The lieux dits include Rosenberg, Herrenweg, Wintzenheim, Leimenthal and Kruett, their Grand Crus vineyards are on Hengst, Steingruber and Pfersigberg. The Gewurztraminer and Pinot Gris lean towards opulence but retain a brilliant balance. The Grand Cru Rieslings are dry and racy with stunning length and delineation.
I always find the Clos Sand particularly appealing with a real mineral complexity. In reality all the Rieslings are superb and the Grand Cru offer great longevity. The more concentrated Grand Cru, Steingrubler and Hengst, are simply stunning. The sensational Gewurztraminer Hengst is really exoitc yet possesses a fabulous balance and finesse.
The Pinot Gris Fleck is consistently a favourite of mine, as is the superb Cremant. The poise and purity of this zero dosage sparkler, make it an ideal aperitif and a truly stylish alternative to Champagne

This is very different stylistically to the Rosenberg. Pure, mineral, ripe and intense on the nose with lovely apricot, grapefruit and tangerine fruits combined with exotic spices. Long, full intense and complex with long, elegant finish. (VR) [more details]

This wine got a particularly ‘big’ tick from me. Quite closed on the nose but very pure with ripeness and minerality coming through. The palate possesses the same purity but with more intense ripe fruit and subtle flint and mineral complexity. Fine balance of ... [more details]

A mere 8 g/l residual here. Clean, pure bouquet with good ripeness and definite mineral and chalky character – very persistent. The mineral qualities carry through on to the palate which is still very youthful at present but with good weight of fruit behind. T... [more details]

Pale yellow. Ripe peach on the nose, with more exotic suggestions of tropical fruits and honey. Juicy, fruity and nicely dry (actually 4.8 g/l r.s.), with subtle fruit and spice flavours. Not a fleshy wine but finishes with good persistence. (ST) [more details]

‘Barmes’ 2005 Gewurztraminer Rosenberg was very long in fermentation. Peppermint, lemon zest, white pepper, and rose petal in the nose lead to a strikingly bright, juicy palate impression that puts me in mind of Riesling. Tasting almost dry thanks to the combi... [more details]

Riper, more intense bouquet with hints of pineapple and mineral. Dry and more powerful on the palate with the flavours mirroring the aromas. Once again there is a real lift and drive of acidity here. Delineated, complex and long with a great promise of longevi... [more details]

Two enthusiastic ticks - loved this! Clean, pure, ripe bouquet – ginger- spice- cherry stones. Good ripeness on the palate, offering an initial impression of peach fruits and finishing with a flinty minerality. Super balance of mouth-watering acidity and great... [more details]
