Food and wine pairings
Beyond his mastery of Alsatian cuisine, he elegantly highlights the briny flavors of seafood and has a particular affinity for dishes featuring salt: seafood, saltwater and freshwater fish, sushi, as well as white meats in cream sauce, goat’s and sheep’s milk cheeses...

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.

Review by Mr. MASSIMILIANO G. Published on 10/30/2024
A very fine Riesling, not overly bold, with a lovely fruitiness that you might not necessarily expect. Some purists who prefer very crisp Rieslings might not find this to their liking, but personally, I drank it with sauerkraut and found it to be a perfect match for the dish.
