Domaine Barmes Buecher Rosenberg Pinot Gris 2018
Posted on 02 October 2021.
Wettolsheim is one of the most delightful wine villages going around and holds a great memory for me – a morning jog in the rain through the town and out into the countryside. The jog thing, a rarity, the grey morning light and bucolic scenery spilling out everywhere… pretty darn magic. The jog, less magic. Meanwhile, here’s an organic gris from Barmes-Buecher’s Wettolsheim vineyard.
Traditional Alsace fare, oily texture, sizzle of acidity, rich scents and flavours of just ripe pear, some cinnamon spice, a faint honeycomb note. While relatively opulent this is refreshing too, and the finish tightens up beautifully and to a chalky pucker followed by mouth-watering tang. Feels detailed and structured – a white wine really cared for in cellar from good vineyard source. Very good gear here. Classic and classy.
