Beyond his expertise in Alsatian cuisine, he gracefully highlights the salty flavors of seafood and loves the language of salt: seafood, saltwater and freshwater fish, sushi, but also white meats with cream, goat or sheep cheese, Japanese cuisine, and more.

Rated estate (2022 guide) 4 stars (Producers of very high quality, the pride of French vineyards)

About the estate:

Céline and Isabelle Meyer run the estate, long managed by their father Jean, with courage and discipline. Biodynamics shines through in their wines, which are light and refined, fresh and chiseled. The estate's two iconic grands crus are Hengst and Brand, where Riesling shines particularly brightly. Pinot Gris is part of a long tradition of dry wines, which are unfortunately not so common in Alsace.
