Ratings: Robert Parker 90/100, Bettane & Desseauve 16.5/20, RVF 16/20
Crafted from a rigorous selection of exceptional local terroirs and old vines, this wine showcases the grape variety and the vintage. Elegant and intense on the nose, it offers a dry, well-balanced palate that is very dense, crisp, and lively, with good body and richness. A superb white wine in the great tradition of the estate’s Pinot Gris wines. (Residual sugar: 7 g/L)

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.
