“'A flavorful, well-structured wine that shines with its lively character and lingering finish.' (Yves Beck)”

“Delicate and subtle, the bouquet of this Pinot Noir, grown on marl-limestone soils, reveals smoky, fruity, and spicy notes. On the palate, it unfolds with great elegance and precision, supported by smooth, juicy tannins that lend it vigor and vitality.” (Yves Beck 2025)

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 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.
