The estate and the wine |
|
|
A true symbol of Alsatian excellence, Albert Mann stands among the region’s most esteemed estates, producing biodynamic wines of remarkable precision and finesse.
Led by Jacky Barthelmé and now his son Antoine, who has taken the reins with quiet confidence, the domaine masters both white and red vinification. Here, Alsace’s greatest terroirs are reimagined with a vibrant, emotional clarity—yielding wines of unmistakable identity, balance, and depth. They are pure, digestible, and profoundly expressive—true benchmarks for wine lovers everywhere.
A crowning achievement: Albert Mann recently received Alsace’s first-ever 100-point score from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate for one of its Pinot Noirs—and the rest of the lineup is just as compelling.
With a prestigious 3-star rating from France’s Revue du Vin de France wine guide (RVF, one of the country’s most respected wine publications), Albert Mann unquestionably ranks among the greats. |

Made primarily from Pinot Blanc (87%), and aged 18 months on lees before being disgorged with no dosage, the 2022 Crémant d’Alsace Extra-Brut White is a sparkling gem—delicate, vibrant, and full of finesse. This is an expressive wine, with fine, persistent bubbles and delicious orchard fruit notes—think ripe pear and apricot. Fresh and full of charm, it’s energetic yet easy to enjoy, making it a perfect match for seafood or smoked trout on toast. |
