“Delicate notes of flowers and apricots define this sweet wine, with hints of juicy, ripe apple on the palate—dry yet wonderfully aromatic. The more you sip, the more nuances emerge: nettle, grapefruit peel, white currant, and peach.

Rated estate (2022 guide): 4 stars (Producers of the very highest quality, the pride of French viticulture)

About the estate:

Céline and Isabelle Meyer manage the estate—long led by their father Jean—with courage and discipline. Their biodynamic wines shine with their light, refined, fresh, and crisp profiles. The estate’s two flagship grands crus are the Hengst and the Brand, where the Riesling truly shines. Pinot Gris is part of a long tradition of dry wine, which is, unfortunately, not so common in Alsace.

A pleasant wine with marine aromas; on the palate, it features white fruit notes with good structure and a nice acidity. Well-balanced.

A little quiet—a little too plain—a little too expensive for the quality—Josmeyer is better at the Grand Cru level...
