"A flavorful, structured wine that shines with its energetic character and persistence." (Yves Beck)

"Delicate and subtle, the bouquet of this Pinot Noir from marl-limestone terroirs reveals smoky, fruity, and spicy nuances. It unfolds with great elegance and precision on the palate, supported by smooth, juicy tannins that lend vigor and tone." (Yves Beck 2025)

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.
