Domaine Albert Mann - Alsace Grand Cru - Pinot Gris Furstentum - White - 2022

Wine:

Fresh and floral, with refined mineral undertones, the 2022 Alsace Grand Cru Pinot Gris Furstentum White delivers one of the purest and most accomplished expressions of this grape on the sun-drenched, limestone-rich slopes of this exceptional terroir. Grace and richness come together in perfect harmony, unfolding a bold, intense, and saline structure that’s lifted and refreshed by a firm mineral backbone. The wine shows impressive breadth—almost a tannic presence—with a distinctive chalky texture that amplifies its depth and brings out elegant notes of peach and fresh almond. This is a gastronomic Pinot Gris of real stature. Rated 94/100 by Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate.

A benchmark for Alsatian excellence, Albert Mann is one of the region’s finest estates, producing biodynamic wines of remarkable precision and depth.

Jacky Barthelmé and his son Antoine—who now leads the estate—have a masterful touch with both whites and reds. The great terroirs of Alsace resonate with new energy here, giving rise to wines of singular identity and striking emotional power. Their clarity, finesse, and drinkability make them essential references for serious wine lovers.

The estate’s rise reached a milestone recently with Alsace’s first-ever 100-point Parker score—for its Pinot Noir. And the rest of the range more than holds its own.

With 3 stars in the French wine guide RVF, Albert Mann now stands among the very best.
