About

This well regarded Alsace domaine is run by two brothers, Maurice and Jacky Barthelmé in the village of Wettolsheim, near Colmar. Maurice, who took over here in 1984, is married to the grand-daughter of the late Albert Mann who gave his name to the domaine. They have 19 hectares in all, but five of these are in five different Grand Cru vineyards and a further two are in Lieux-dits. They’ve taken a quality-minded approach, and say all the right things about respect for the soil and the importance of low yields. Biodynamics is their forte.
