Domaine Albert Mann
ドメーヌ・アルベール・マン
Alsace's biodynamic pioneer, crafting pure, terroir-driven wines since 1997.
Domaine Albert Mann is a benchmark biodynamic estate in Wettolsheim, at the heart of Alsace's Grand Cru country. It was formed by the union of two long-standing winegrowing families — the Manns, growers since the early 17th century, and the Barthelmés, since 1654 — and has been run by brothers Maurice and Jacky Barthelmé since the mid-1980s. The domaine pioneered biodynamic viticulture in Alsace starting in 1997 and has been certified biodynamic (Ecocert/Biodyvin) since 2010. Farming roughly 25 hectares across more than a hundred parcels, the estate holds vines in seven Grand Crus — Schlossberg, Hengst, Furstentum, Steingrubler, Pfersigberg, Wineck-Schlossberg, and Eichberg — plus the monopole Clos de la Faille. Guided by lunar rhythms and Rudolf Steiner's biodynamic principles, the Barthelmés craft wines of remarkable purity and precision that let each terroir speak clearly, from vibrant Riesling and Pinot Gris to structured, age-worthy Pinot Noir.
