Josmeyer - Riesling Les Pierrets 2015
91/100
Robert Parker
“This 2015 Riesling comes from two different plots: one in the valley on old vines, and the other on Rotenberg, on the northern slope opposite Hengst. The wine opens with a ripe, intense bouquet , yet retains its vibrancy, elegance, and minerality thanks to citrus aromas and a flinty character. Full-bodied, rich, and spicy, the palate is dense, fairly concentrated, and structured. Highly expressive, this Riesling remains elegant and mineral. A tannic sensation gives it structure and a long, compact finish. The fruit here is lush yet well-organized. Already ready to drink, it can still age for at least 10 years.” (Wine Advocate 2017) Great terroirs and old vines!

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. Biodynamic winemaking shines through in their wines, which are light and refined on the palate, fresh and crisp. The estate’s two flagship grands crus are the Hengst and the Brand, where the Riesling truly shines. The Pinot Gris is part of a long tradition of dry wine, which is unfortunately not so common in Alsace.
