Expert's Description

Meyer Fonné Pinot Gris Réserve 2022 is a White Wine from Alsace, France, made from Pinot Gris with an alcohol content of 13.5%. The Meyer Fonné estate is run by Félix Meyer in the village of Katzenthal and is known for a stringent, terroir-driven style where individual vineyards and soil types are allowed to speak for themselves rather than being drowned in overripe fruit and residual sugar - a line that sets the house apart from many other Alsace producers. The Réserve tier is the house's entry wine from selected parcels, fermented dry and aged in stainless steel to preserve the purity of the fruit.
