Meyer-Fonné - Alsace Gewurztraminer Vendanges Tardives Grand Cru Kaefferkopf 2018 (50cl)
2*Coup de Coeur
Hachette
The estate's wine list features several sweet wines from various terroirs. This one, produced in a very early year (harvested in mid-October for this 2018 vintage), earned the estate its sixth "coups de cœur" award. While this golden yellow wine attracts with its overripe nose, with notes of yellow and exotic fruits, compote, even candied, it is on the palate that it reveals all its qualities: its perfectly smooth texture and richness are balanced by a touch of acidity that gives it superb harmony."

Rated estate (2023 guide) 2 stars (These very large estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their production, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).
About the estate:
In just a few years, Félix Meyer has built up a solid reputation in Alsace. This is no coincidence: the viticulture is of high quality, with closely monitored yields, and the wines are vinified on fine lees in large casks. Having joined the family estate in 1992, Félix has skillfully revealed the granite terroirs of Katzenthal. Don't overlook his Gewurztraminer, which is not at all heavy and has a crystalline purity that seduces even detractors of this often overly sweet grape variety. The estate expanded by 3.5 hectares in 2019, and in 2021 it obtained organic certification.
