Year after year this plot of old vines produce a remarkable wine. This Pinot Blanc acts like a Pinot Gris — rich, oily apricot and pear fruit but with a streak of minerality, a smoky side, and a touch of citrus.

There are records stating that the Swiss family Meyer arrived in Katzenthal in 1732. Domaine Meyer-Fonné dates back three generations with Felix Meyer taking over the cellar from his father in 1992. Having first modernised the equipment in the winery, then developing export sales, Félix is now expanding the family holdings in many of Alsace’s great vineyard sites. Today, he works 15 hectares over seven different communes, including five in notable Grand Cru locations.
What makes Meyer-Fonné wines so special ? “Our vineyards are now mostly located on the hillsides, so the historic part of the Alsatian vineyards”, says Félix. Only about 25% of the current holdings of 14 hectares of vines are located in the valley floor and are exclusively planted with either Pinot Blanc or Auxerrois.
