Description

The Meyers have been locals of Alsace since 1832. Almost two centuries on and five generations later, Felix Meyer is now in charge of the family winery, and has been since 1992.

These wines are considered some of the best value of their kind in France. The family owns holdings in some of the most sought-after vineyards of Alsace, having over 75% of their organic-farmed sites located on the prized sloped vineyards across seven communes in the region.

Felix uses traditional winemaking methods, fermenting wild in a mixture of stainless steel and large format oak and allowing the wines a long time on lees before release. The 'Reserve Riesling' comes from a selection of younger vines and a portion from some of their cru vineyards.

It's dry, precise and showcases excellent extension of flavour. It's some of the best buying you will see from this famed wine-growing region.

Importer's 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 with wine is bright and pure with lovely weight and balance and a refreshing, sherbet-like acidity. Great quality dry Alsace Riesling!

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.

Félix Meyer is one of the bright stars in Alsace producing excellent wines from his property in Katzenthal.

No, all prices are set at the full discounted dozen rate already.

Most wine retailers list at a single-bottle price and then discount 10–15% when you buy six or twelve. We've taken the opposite approach. Since the overwhelming majority of our orders are already 6 bottles or more, our list price is set for the case buyer from the start. There's no inflated single-bottle price to discount down from.

What that means for you:

- One price, same for everyone — no minimum to hit to unlock the best rate
- No mixed-six gymnastics to qualify for a discount
- Our single-bottle price is typically at or below a traditional retailer's by-the-dozen rate

Put simply: the box discount is already baked into the price.

**And if you find it cheaper elsewhere?** Let us know. If the same wine is available at a lower price at another retailer (including at their mixed-six or by-the-dozen rate) we're happy to match it.

If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
