2021 Riesling Grand Cru “Mandelberg Vieilles Vignes”
Meyer-Fonné
Sumptuous grand cru Riesling at a price that goes down (almost) as easy as the wine? Tempt me with a good time, why don’t you! Speaking of good times, try pairing this bottle with a meal that packs some heat. Bright and fiery Vindaloo, Hunan dishes with pickled cabbage and spicy chiles, or meats dry rubbed with mouth-numbing Szechuan peppercorn will be perfect companions for a wine this textured and deep. Felix Meyer’s recent acquisition from the small, sunny Mandelberg cru is already a classic through and through—petrol notes with lush pear, honey, and a tart bite of green apple…even if you forego the food altogether, it’s sure to be delightful.

Félix Meyer’s old-vine Pinot Blanc from the slopes of Katzenthal, in Alsace, has long overdelivered in the role of the proverbial “crisp white” for which we long.

A grainy texture and a lightness on its feet that his other more powerful and structured Pinots grown in limestone do not possess.

Power, intensity, and complexity combine to bring us a Riesling for the ages.

If you don’t recognize Félix Meyer’s touch from the rich aromas of lychee, candied ginger, and rose petals, you will by the time you finish your first glass.

About The Region
Alsace
Tragically, Alsace might be the most misunderstood wine region of France. In spite of its long history of viticulture and tremendous diversity of pedigreed terroirs, a past fraught with marketing mishaps has left consumers baffled as to what exactly to expect inside one of these mysterious tall, thin bottles.
The good news, on the other hand, is that a new wave of quality-oriented growers is working hard to put Alsace in its rightful place as one of the world’s most fascinating sources of fine white wine. By embracing tradition, respecting terroir, and making a concerted effort to better communicate the countless virtues their wines have to offer, they have succeeded in putting Alsace back on the map.
Crafted from a number of grape varieties and beautifully interpreting the region’s mosaic of soil types, our Alsace imports are by and large dry whites offering exceptional versatility at table. While each of these selections is ready to be uncorked tonight, the finest among them are also capable of maturing for many, many years in a cool cellar. Expect kaleidoscopic aromatics, lively acidities, and loads of terroir transparency in these skillfully crafted masterpieces. Enjoy a foray into the thrilling world of the world’s most underrated wine region, and certainly do not hesitate to contact our sales staff with any questions as you take off on this mouth-watering adventure.

Let the brett nerds retire into protective bubbles, and whenever they thirst for wine it can be passed in to them through a sterile filter. Those of us on the outside can continue to enjoy complex, natural, living wines.
