2019 Domaine Josmeyer 'H' Pinot Auxerrois Vieilles Vignes Alsace

Winemaker Notes:  Pale gold color. The old vines, planted on Hengst Grand Cru vineyard give a fresh wine. Bone dry, yet full, rich and nutty in notes. Deep in mouth with citrus, apple and mineral flavour. Superb cut and fine length.

The grapes were hand-picked and whole-bunch pressed in pneumatic presses. After fermentation, the wine stabilized in stainless steel tanks naturally during the winter season and, following a very gentle filtering. It was bottled before the heat of summer to preserve the natural carbonic gas (a natural anti-oxidant).

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
