Tasting Notes
The blending of Pinot Blanc and Auxerrois is pretty typical for a dry, Alsatian white wine. But what is not typical is the freshness and high acidity that Albert Mann has retained in this wine. Typically varietal on the nose with aromatic, floral, and white stone-fruit characters. However, the palate brings a racy acidity and an austere minerality that is not typical of the grapes or style. This is far more of a dry-Riesling lovers wine than a Gris or Blanc lovers wine. That having been said, it is still a beautifully crisp, and very drinkable, Alsatian white. Perfect for the hot day seafood platters! Importer Note.
Domaine Albert Mann is one of Alsace’s leading estates, run by brothers Maurice and Jacky Barthelmé in Wettolsheim. The domaine traces its origins to the union of two long-established winemaking families, Mann and Barthelmé, and today farms about 25 hectares, including holdings in five grands crus: Schlossberg, Furstentum, Steingrubler, Hengst and Pfersigberg.
The estate has been certified organic and biodynamic for many years, with a focus on biodiversity, soil vitality and hand-crafted farming practices. In the cellar, fermentations are carried out with native yeasts, élevage is long and careful, and sulfur is used minimally, resulting in wines of purity, energy and precision.
Albert Mann produces a wide range across Alsace’s classic varieties—Riesling, Pinot Gris, Gewurztraminer, Muscat and Pinot Noir—combining clarity and freshness with depth and longevity. The domaine is widely admired for its ability to balance tradition and innovation, offering benchmark examples of both dry, terroir-driven whites and some of the region’s most refined Pinot Noirs.
