Josmeyer wines from Alsace: biodynamic grands crus that will elevate the finest fish dishes
Domaine Josmeyer, located in Wintzenheim, 2 km west of Colmar (68), has existed since the mid-19th century and is one of the great estates of Alsace.
Domaine Josmeyer covers 28 hectares of vines across a number of very fine plots, including highly renowned Grands Crus such as Grand Cru Brand and Grand Cru Hengst. In total, the Josmeyer vineyard is divided between approximately 28% Riesling, 24% Pinot Blanc, 21% Pinot Gris, and 19% Gewurztraminer, with the remaining 8% in Sylvaner, Muscat and Pinot Noir. The vineyard has always been managed in a thoughtful manner with respect for nature, and since 2004 all Josmeyer wines have been certified with the AB (organic farming) label, as well as biodynamic certification. The 5ème generation, represented by Céline and Isabelle Meyer, has succeeded their father Jean Meyer since 2016. The wines of Domaine Josmeyer are renowned for their finesse, and fermentation takes place largely in centenary wooden foudres with capacities ranging from 1,000 to 6,000 litres. The wines are aged on fine lees, and their stabilisation occurs naturally during the winter season. After bottling, the wines are sometimes stored for several years, so that enthusiasts can enjoy them in their youth or after several years of cellaring. The Josmeyer Riesling Grand Cru Brand comes from a very small plot at Josmeyer, with vines over 40 years old. The granitic terroir of Grand Cru Brand imparts great finesse and precision to the Riesling, which is truly one of those great grape varieties capable of conveying with remarkable precision the subtle nuances of the finest terroirs. The Riesling Grand Cru Brand is a white Alsace wine of exceptional purity and great complexity. Still young in the 2017 vintage, it is driven by a sharp acidity, yet tempered by a modest residual sugar. One will appreciate this pure expression of terroir, free from any aging notes. With great tension and remarkable minerality alongside a long finish, this very harmonious Brand will continue to develop over a minimum of 5 to 7 years. Also among the Grands Crus, the Riesling Hengst Somain 2014 is spiced and restrained, accompanied by noble and fine bitterness that adds relief and good vivacity. This Grand Cru Hengst impresses with its tension, elegance and aromatic purity, making it a true dining companion for the finest sea fish: sea bass, turbot, monkfish, or even crustaceans such as lobster and spiny lobster. The style of Domaine Josmeyer's wines is focused on elegance, and will captivate the greatest enthusiasts of Alsace wines.
