Domaine Josmeyer

Domain Josmeyer was founded in 1854 by Aloyse Meyer, whose grandson Jean Meyer now manages this acclaimed wine domain. Situated in Alsace the village of Wintzenheim, just west of Colmar, the domain 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' wine 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 domains 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".
