About the wine:

Delicious notes of rosewater, mirabelle plum, mango, white pepper and ginger in a refined mouthfeel, with energy and a seductive, honeyed sweetness. Enjoy with paella, Indian curry or strawberry-rhubarb tart.

About the wine:

Radiant, the Furstentum gewurztraminer is an eloquent wine for laying down: the liveliness of its sugars, the intensity of its citrus flavors and the quality of its bitters will reward patient amateurs.

About the domain :

In just a few years, Félix Meyer has built up a solid reputation in Alsace. This is no coincidence: the viticulture is of the highest quality, with carefully controlled yields, and vinification is carried out on fine lees in large tuns. Having joined the family domaine in 1992, Félix has a talent for revealing Katzenthal's granite terroirs. Don't neglect his Gewurztraminer, which shows no heaviness and acquires a crystalline purity, winning over even the detractors of this too-often daubed grape variety. The estate expanded by 3.5 hectares in 2019, and 2021 saw the arrival of organic certification.

James Suckling

About the wine:

Pineapple, lychee and bergamot oil, followed by potpourri and cinnamon, with underlying stony minerality. Dry, medium-bodied, with soft, bright acidity. Lively freshness and balance behind the florid perfume. Beautiful harmony. For drinking or cellaring.

Yves Beck

About the wine:

The bouquet of Furstentum 2021 is surprisingly multi-faceted, with notes that oscillate between freshness and evolution. It reveals nuances of white truffle, pineapple, ginger and lime. Suave on the attack, the palate sets the record straight! The wine boasts a structuring acidity that provides temperament and counteracts the sweetness. A harmonious, inviting wine with a salivating finish! Now - 2041
