Rated Estate (2023 Guide) 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often boasting fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that, thanks to the consistency and excellence of their wines, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers)
About the wine:
Radiant and full of character, the Furstentum Gewürztraminer is a wine with great aging potential: its lively sweetness, intense citrus flavors, and well-balanced bitterness will reward patient connoisseurs.
About the estate:
In just a few years, Félix Meyer has built a solid reputation in Alsace. This is no accident: the viticulture is of high quality, with yields carefully controlled, and the wines are aged on fine lees in large casks. Having joined the family estate in 1992, Félix has skillfully brought out the character of Katzenthal’s granite-based terroirs. Don’t overlook his Gewürztraminer, which is never heavy and achieves a crystalline purity, winning over even the detractors of this variety, which is all too often described as cloying. The estate expanded by 3.5 hectares in 2019, and 2021 saw the arrival of organic certification.

About the wine:
Pineapple, lychee, and bergamot oil, followed by potpourri and cinnamon, with an underlying stony minerality. Dry, medium-bodied, with a soft, lively acidity. Vivid freshness and balance behind the floral bouquet. Beautiful harmony. Ready to drink or worth cellaring.
