Tasting Notes
This 'reserve " bottling is a blend of multiple terroirs, including grand cru sources, vines young and old. Pale straw in the glass the wine smells pure with aromas of nectarine, grapefruit and lime with hints of minerals rocks, no doubt the influence of Katzenthal's granite soils. On the palate the wine is bright and pure with lovely weight and balance and a refreshing, sherbet-like acidity. Great quality dry Alsace Riesling! - Importer Note
When visiting winemakers in Alsace, it rarely happens that a vigneron spontaneously mentions any nearby colleagues, and it is good manners of an importer to not bring up the subject. But I now understand that there is great admiration of the Meyer-Fonné among his Alsace colleagues, and especially admired is the technical skill that Félix Meyer possesses. This brilliant 12 ha domaine exploits vineyards in seven communes.
As a visitor, the skill and dedication immediately becomes obvious. At Meyer-Fonné, there is not one single wine that falls out of context that is dull or unbalanced. All are characterized by uncompromising quality. The flavours are always intense, but never without harmony.
'Félix Meyer is a rising star in Alsace and has an evident instinct for his craft. He is the third generation in his family to be making wine since his grandfather founded the domaine in the late 19th century. Since taking over in 1992, Félix has already left his own mark, modernizing equipment in the winery, developing export sales, and now expanding the family's holdings in many of Alsace's great vineyard sites, including several grand crus. - Importer Note
