2009 Pinot Blanc, Domaine Josmeyer, Alsace

Product Details
Berrys' Notes

Domaine Josmeyer was founded in 1854 by Aloyse Meyer, whose grandson Jean Meyer now manages the domaine. Situated in the village of Wintzenheim, just west of Colmar, the domaine has 25 hectares of vineyards scattered across nearby villages.

These are mainly in Turckheim and Wintzenheim, including 2 hectares in Grand Cru Hengst, and a much smaller parcel of land in Grand Cru Brand. Unsurprisingly the predominant grape varieties are Riesling, Gewurztraminer and Pinot Gris, three of the four 'noble' grapes of the region.

There are lesser amounts of Muscat and other varieties planted, including Chasselas, but these are outweighed by Pinot Blanc and Auxerrois, which account for almost a fifth of the domaine’s holdings. A number of these varieties are grown on Grand Cru Hengst, although they may never be marketed as Grand Cru wines, and they bear the symbol "H".
