Ratings: Robert Parker 90/100, RVF 18/20
A Grand Cru Riesling whose minerality makes an immediate impression on the palate. A refined and easy-drinking wine with firm structure and beautiful vibrancy. It gracefully highlights the briny flavors of seafood and pairs beautifully with salty dishes.

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. 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.
