Domaine Barmes-Buecher Cremant d’Alsace Brut Nature

Description

Established in 1985 by Geneviève Barmès (née Buecher) and her husband François Barmès, Domaine Barmès-Buecher is situated in the heart of the Alsace region, near Colmar and Eguisheim. Merging the vineyard holdings of their families, dating back to the 17th century in Wettolsheim, one of the region’s major wine-growing towns, they embarked on a biodynamic approach to winemaking in 1998, achieving certification in 2001. This commitment reflects a profound respect for nature, life forces, and natural cycles, fostering a closer connection with the terroir and a profound understanding of the environment surrounding the vine and the winemaker.

The 15 hectares of the estate benefit from the meticulous care of a dedicated team, including Geneviève, Maxime, and Sophie, who work tirelessly to produce wines of exceptional quality. The family’s ethos is grounded in trust and collaboration, allowing them to create unique wines that truly reflect the balance, harmony, and authentic natural expression of terroir, vintage, and varietal.

The Domaine’s Cremant d’Alsace Brut Nature embodies this commitment. Crafted from Pinot Gris, Pinot Auxerrois, Pinot Noir, and Riesling grapes sourced from clay-limestone hillsides in Wettolsheim and the sandy loamy plains of Turckheim and Colmar, this Cremant showcases the finesse and character derived from diverse terroirs. Notably, the wine is free from added sugar, preserving its natural identity and purity. Each vintage is a unique expression, a testament to Domaine Barmès-Buecher’s unwavering dedication to honest and authentic winemaking.
