About Domaine Albert Mann
While most of the Barthelmé brothers' other wines are fat, round and at least moderately sweet, their Rieslings are vibrant and minerally, offering excellent cut and clarity. The estate's classic example from the granite soil of Schlossberg is typically austere in its youth. The Barthelmés' Auxerrois, in both regular and old-vines versions, are rich and full-bodied, sometimes reminiscent of Pinot Gris in weight and texture.

Pale yellow. Perfumed aromas of lichee, spices and flowers. Fat, rich, sweet and soft, with varietally accurate flavors of yellow fruits and spices. Rich for this cuvee, and not quite as sweet on the back end as the 24 g/l r.s. would suggest.
