Barmes Buecher Pinot Blanc Rosenberg 2020 (750ml)

This oily Pinot Blanc comes from the Rosenberg vineyard, a renowned site in Alsace that is composed of the classic mix of clay and limestone. Old vines of Pinot Blanc rooted in this mineral soil give full-bodied wines with terrific fruit (think yellow apple/poached pear) but with a stony backbone and raciness that makes it both fantastic with food and a good candidate for short-term aging. A hint of ginger on the finish. Certified biodynamic.

Domaine Barmès-Buecher began in 1985 when Geneviève Barmès (née Buecher) and her husband François Barmès combined the vineyards of their respective families which each had owned since the 17th century. Today their son Maxime runs the vineyard and vinification with the help of his mother and sister Sophie. The domaine has been certified biodynamic since the 2001 vintage and grows 8 varietals on 17 hectares of vineyards split over 7 different terroirs including 3 Grand Crus.
