“Created in memory of Jean Meyer, Un Certain Regard 2016 is a very elegant and refined Pinot Gris with a long, refined, and briny finish. It possesses astonishing finesse and brininess, with good structure and a long finish. Very briny and refined, it was bottled with six grams of residual sugar.” (Wine Advocate 2018 – Robert Parker) Cuvée Hommage!

Wine rated (2019 guide) 16/20 (Very good wine)

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

About the wine:

This dry-style Pinot Gris has a lovely briny character (it has 6g of residual sugar per 14°), is very refined and concentrated, with a tight, fairly compact texture. It has a savory, briny finish.

About the estate:

Céline and Isabelle Meyer manage the estate—long led by their father Jean—with courage and discipline. The biodynamic approach shines through in their wines, which are light and refined on the palate, fresh and well-defined. 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 wines—a style that, unfortunately, is not all that common in Alsace.

Wine rated (2019 guide) 16/20 + Favorite (Very good wine)

About the wine:

This vintage is a beautiful tribute to Céline and Isabelle Meyer’s father, who passed away in 2016. A Pinot Gris crafted in his image: “Straightforward yet full-bodied. Dry but not harsh.” That says it all!

Review by Mr. JEAN-MARC D. Published on April 24, 2021

Josmeyer’s straightforward style is legendary, and patience is key. This Pinot Gris is still very tight. Its tension and minerality are remarkable. The fruit will come through better after a few years in the cellar. A great wine.
