Jean-Luc Meyer - Pinot Noir 2009

Il accompagne les viandes blanches ou rouges. Il est peu tannique et peut être servi sur tout un repas.

Données techniques

Seul cépage rouge alsacien, charmant vin d'été, est un compromis entre le vin rouge puissant et le rosé. Le cépage donne au vin des arômes de fruits rouges (cerises, cassis). Le vin présente une belle concentration et une belle structure.

About the winery

Located in the heart of the vineyards, 5 km south of Colmar, the estate’s vines stretch over 10 hectares (24,7 acres) around the village of Eguisheim, the birthplace of the Alsace vineyards.

The farm buildings are located on the edge of the old town of Eguisheim and include a cellar dated 1735, housing wooden casks. More recent buildings shelter the press house and the storage cellar.

Handed down from father to son over several generations, this concern is now managed by Jean-Luc and Louise who took over from Ernest, the father.

The annual production is approximately 70,000 bottles and includes three appellations :
* Alsace: 7 grape varieties and Vendanges Tardives
* Alsace Grand Crus: Pfersigberg and Eichberg
* Crémant d'Alsace

The wine-making process is carried out according to traditional methods and the grapes are picked and sorted by hand.

The wines are sold on the spot and dispatched to various destinations. The French market represents 70% of our sales and 30% are dispatched to Belgium, Holland, Denmark, England and the United States.
