The Barmès children, Maxime and Sophie, have taken up with application and conviction the work initiated by their father (who died accidentally in 2011): organic (certified since 2001) and biodynamic farming, manual work as much as possible, no additives (neither yeast, nor chaptalization, nor fining) other than sulphur in minimal quantities. A single priority: to obtain the best climatic and geological expression of each of the 7 parcels of the estate (4 "villages" and 3 grands crus). Their Rieslings, with great ageing potential, are absolutely exemplary.
Rated three stars in the Revue du Vin de France guide.
Steingrubler, great finesse and length, clay-limestone soil on granite ridge.
The 2023 vintage in the press:
Vinous (A. Krebiehl - April 2025) : 95/100 "The 2023 Riesling Steingrubler Grand Cru is from densely planted vines from 1995, facing east and 2010, facing south, made in foudre. Beautifully expressive notes of orange and mandain peel have brighter, spicier, more aromatic highlights of pomelo and Seville orange. The palate continues in this citric vein with those vivid fruits on a svelte yet creamy body. This pushes forward with its freshness, flavor, aromatic insistence and drive. The 2023 is a standout this year. (Bone-dry)."

Clos Sand, with granite soil, pure, energetic and crystalline.
The 2023 vintage in the press:
Vinous (A. Krebiehl - April 2025) : 93/100 "The 2023 Riesling Clos Sand, named after yhe granitic sands of this elevated, steep site, is always amongst the last parcels to be picked. This was made in used demi-muid and opens with a lovely scent of lemon and herb tisane, still swinging with gentle yeastiness. The svelte palate is absolutely clean-cut and bright. This is a bone-dry, light-bodied, tender Riesling that is full of beautifully cool, citric energy and freshness. It is always such a pleasure, such a tonic."

Clos Sand, with granite soil, pure, energetic and crystalline.
The 2022 vintage in the press:
La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2025): 93/100 “A rather free profile for the Clos Sand Riesling, a saline, invigorating wine with a strong granite sheen. Very energetic, backed by beautiful bitters that are still strict on the finish”.
Bettane & Desseauve (Guide 2025): 94/100
Vinous (Anne Krebiehl - January 2024): 92/100 “The nose combines flint and aromatic citrus peel reminiscent of lime, grapefruit and tangerine, highlighting the crushed citrus foliage. The palate is smooth and creamy with yeast, but it's as straightforward as you'd expect from this site. [...] The 2022 is beautiful now but has excellent potential. Wonderfully pure."

Hengst, the most powerful and full-bodied, certainly for long ageing, deep marly-limestone soil.
The Barmès children, Maxime and Sophie, have continued the work begun by their father (who died accidentally in 2011) with dedication and conviction: organic (certified since 2001) and biodynamic viticulture, manual work wherever possible, no additives (no yeasting, no chaptalisation, no fining) other than sulphur in minimal quantities. A single priority: to obtain the best climatic and geological expression from each of the estate's 7 parcels (4 'villages' and 3 'grands crus'). Their Rieslings, with their great ageing potential, are absolutely exemplary. Rated three stars in the Revue du Vin de France's guide.
Although the aromatic exuberance of Gewurztraminer is often used to produce sweet wines, this is a "tender" wine, vinified with an emphasis on tension, and sparing residual sugars.
The 2023 vintage in the press:
Vinous (A. Krebiehl - April 2025) : 95/100 "The 2023 Gewurztraminer Hengst Grand Cru was made in stainless steel only. The nose has a gentle note of Navel orange peel. The palate has the same aromatic brightness and unexpected light-footedness. It is slender, flowing and juicy, with 27g/L of residual sugar adding emollience rather than sweetness since it has astonishing, outstanding freshness."

Coteaux Calcaires is a reflection of its terroir, a crisp, very red-fruit pinot noir, underpinned by fine acidity and a saline finish. It easily compares with many Burgundy pinots, Volnay version.
