Meyer’s 2020 is lovely stuff—fermented dry, full-bodied in style, it shines at table in a multitude of gastronomic settings with kaleidoscopic range.

Serve it to friends as an apéritif and listen for wows, because this wine’s perfume provokes wows.

From the exceedingly fine and elegant nose to the creamy and lacy texture, the overall balance and touch, and its hint of salty freshness, this wine shows how understated, finessed, and downright glorious dry Pinot Gris can be in Alsace.

This bottle gives some of my favorite grand cru Rieslings a run for their money with a nose evoking peach skin and pear and a palate that ripples with fresh acidity.

Félix Meyer’s old-vine Pinot Blanc from the slopes of Katzenthal, in Alsace, has long overdelivered in the role of the proverbial “crisp white” for which we long.

The small, sunny Mandelberg cru is already a classic through and through—petrol notes with lush pear, honey, and a tart bite of green apple.

A grainy texture and a lightness on its feet that his other more powerful and structured Pinots grown in limestone do not possess.

This Riesling “Katz,” as we call it, is a beautifully linear and chiseled style of Riesling, fresh and pure.

You’ll detect a steely quality on the finish, and the slightest hint of the petrol often associated with Riesling. Delicious!

That grapes can be cajoled and fashioned to make such a liquid is miraculous. This aroma is beyond belief.
