Biodynamic viticulture and minimal intervention in the cellar - wild yeast fermentation and zero dosage - are hallmarks of Domaine Barmes-Buecher. Made from a blend of Auxerrois, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, and Chardonnay, it screams Alsace, and I love Cremant d'Alsace, and this is a beauty. Limes and green apples, a hint of pear and white flowers, and a core of stony minerality make this wine a pleasure to drink, and a superb alternative to the much more expensive grower champagne. I cannot wait to visit Alsace next year.
