2019 Domaine Josmeyer 'Les Pierrets' Riesling Alsace

Winemaker Notes: From the word “stone” which recalls the minerality of Riesling, pierrets or pierrots are small sparrows.

Right in the heart of Alsace, near Colmar, our wine-estate was founded in 1854 by our ancestor Aloyse Meyer. Since 2009, we are 2 sisters walking in our father’s path and pursuing this familial adventure. Isabelle is the winemaker and me Céline, is managing the estate. Our vineyard is in organic and biodynamic culture since 2000. Our 90 plots are about 25 ha and are located in the plain or on hills, including the famous “Grands Crus” hills named “Hengst” and “Brand”. Hand-picked and carefully sorted the grapes are then crushed slowly in pneumatic presses
