Description

When visiting winemakers in Alsace, it rarely happens that a vigneron spontaneously mentions any nearby colleagues, and it is good manners of an importer to not bring up the subject. But I now understand that there is great admiration of the Meyer-Fonn among his Alsace colleagues, and especially admired is the technical skill that Flix Meyer possesses. This brilliant 12 ha domaine exploits vineyards in seven communes.

As a visitor, the skill and dedication immediately becomes obvious. At Meyer-Fonn, there is not one single wine that falls out of context that is dull or unbalanced. All are characterized by uncompromising quality. The flavours are always intense, but never without harmony.

‘Flix Meyer is a rising star in Alsace and has an evident instinct for his craft. He is the third generation in his family to be making wine since his grandfather founded the domaine in the late 19th century. Since taking over in 1992, Flix has already left his own mark, modernizing equipment in the winery, developing export sales, and now expanding the family’s holdings in many of Alsace’s great vineyard sites, including several grand crus. – Importer Note
