Alsace Riesling Grand Cru Hengst Samain Josmeyer (Domaine)
Information
About the producer

Situated near Colmar, Domaine Josmeyer extends to some 24.4 hectares and has been certified organic and biodynamic since 2004. They grow all the great Alsatian grape varieties, which are evenly distributed over the estate’s 90 plots. The property is home to some beautiful vineyards such as Herrenweg and Rorenberg, along with two of the most distinguished Grand Crus in Alsace: Hengst and Brand.
The two sisters at the head of this family estate, which was founded in 1854, are the 5th generation to run it. Céline manages the property and the work in the vines while Isabelle oversees vinification, allowing Riesling, Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc, Gewurztraminer, Sylvaner and Pinot Noir to shine. The dry wines reveal a remarkable purity and the grand crus are mineral and saline. The French wine magazine Bettane & Desseauve say that Josmeyer’s wines have “light and refined palates that are fresh and chiselled”.

About the wine

Dense, generous, fresh and well-balanced, this cuvée is perfect enjoyed young with fish or shellfish. If you leave it to age for a couple of years, it will go excellently with aged cheeses (comté, parmesan). The domain cultivates its vineyard organically and biodynamically, picking the grapes by hand. Natural fermentations with ambient yeasts last between 1 and 4 months. The wine is then matured in hundred-year-old oak barrels or stainless-steel vats, depending on the year.
