Domaine Barmès-Buecher - Rosenberg Sylvaner 2023

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 seven different terroirs, including three Grand Crus.

The vineyard Rosenberg is the classic mix of clay and limestone. Old vines of Sylvaner, Pinot Blanc and Pinot Auxerrois rooted in this mineral soil give full-bodied wines with terrific fruit but with a stony backbone and raciness that makes them both fantastic with food and good candidates for short-term aging.
