Felix Meyer’s recent acquisition from the small, sunny Mandelberg cru is already a classic through and through.

Meyer’s Riesling Réserve is a mélange of different terroirs around his domaine in Katzenthal, and is a precise, dry, minerally Riesling loaded with character.

Dense and chiseled, this is serious Riesling, a wine whose deep complexity has only just begun to emerge beneath layers of chewy flesh, stone, and steely acidity.

Dip your nose deep in this glass of Muscat; its delicate perfume—redolent of elderflower and orange blossom—leaves no doubt that you’ve discovered one of Alsace’s hidden gems.

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

Almond, butter, orange confit, white truffle—it’s all there in the awesome bouquet—then you experience the unctuous, dense palate with a texture to write home about.

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

This rich, gastronomic crémant with fine and elegant bubbles will have even the Champagne purist singing its praises.

Powerhouse intensity, concentration, kaleidoscopic flavor, unique terroir: in short, one of the great Riesling terroirs in all of northern Europe.

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