Robert Parker
"This 2015 Riesling comes from two different parcels, one in the valley on old vines and the other on Rotenberg, on the northern slope opposite Hengst. The wine opens with a ripe, intense bouquet, yet retains brightness, elegance and minerality thanks to citrus scents and a flinty edge. Full-bodied, rich and spicy, the palate is dense, fairly concentrated and structured. Very expressive, this Riesling remains elegant and mineral. A tannic feel gives it structure and a long, compact finish. The fruit here is lush but well organized. Already ready to drink, it can age for at least another 10 years." (Wine Advocate 2017) Great terroirs and old vines!

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (guide 2022) 4*Stars (Top-quality producers, the glories of French winegrowing)
About the domain :
With courage and discipline, Céline and Isabelle Meyer manage the estate long run by their father Jean. Biodynamic viticulture shines through in wines with airy, pure, fresh, chiselled mouthfeel. The estate's two favorite grands crus are Hengst and Brand, where Riesling shines particularly brightly. Pinot Gris is part of a long tradition of dry wines, unfortunately not so common in Alsace.
