WINE DESCRIPTION

For three generations, the Meyer family has proudly managed their domain. Originally Swiss immigrants in 1732, they settled in Katzenthal. Félix Meyer, the domain's founder, purchased the main estate and began cultivating vines. His daughter, Lucie, actively participated in vineyard work. François Meyer, Félix's grandson, carried on the legacy in the 1960s, focusing on bottling and private sales. Nicole, François's wife, manages the office and cellar sales, emphasizing quality in both service and wines. In 1992, their son Félix modernized the domain, expanding exports, improving equipment, and innovating winemaking. The family's dedicated staff, including Fabrice and Rafal, contributes to their continued success.

ORIGINS

Winery: Meyer-Fonné

Region: Alsace

Alsace is a French wine region located in the northeast of the country, bordering Germany and Switzerland. It is renowned for its unique wines, which are made from a variety of grapes and styles. Alsace has a long and varied history of winemaking, dating back to the Romans. The region has been under the control of both France and Germany over the centuries, and this has had a significant influence on the wines produced here. Alsace was annexed by France in the late 19th century, and since then, the region has become known for its distinctive wines.
