96/100 Coup de Cœur
RVF
"The Schoenenbourg is the most striking, both broad and dynamic, bursting with refined and pungent flavors" (RVF)
"Minerality and spices dominate the bouquet, at least on the first nose. It gradually reveals itself and gains in complexity over time, ultimately giving way to a thousand and one nuances, with subtlety and detail. Salty, even lively on the attack, the wine impresses with its ability to so skilfully combine sweetness, depth, and vigor. Its acidity, both structuring and incisive, helps to provide support and highlight the freshness and power of the terroir. Led by a tannic structure working behind the scenes, the wine stands out for its depth, precision, and crystalline progression." (Yves Beck 2025) • Please note: limited quantities available.

Wine rating (2026 guide) 96/100 Favorite
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 wine:
The Schoenenbourg is the most striking, both broad and dynamic, bursting with refined and pungent flavors.
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.
