Pinot Auxerrois Vielles Vignes "H"

Josmeyer is a notable wine producer in the French region of Alsace. Established in 1963 by Hubert Meyer with the Meyer family's négociant business dating back to 1854. The domaine is best known for its artist series collection as well as grand cru wines from Riesling, sourced from the Brand and Hengst vineyards.

The estate is located in the Haut-Rhin in Wintzenheim, near Colmar, and consists of 28 hectares (69 acres) of vineyards. Here, Riesling, Pinot Blanc, Auxerrois, Pinot Gris and Gewürztraminer are planted on a range of diverse soil types, from granite laced with black mica and gneiss in the Brand vineyard to limestone mixed with chalky marl in Hengst.

Grapes are hand-harvested, pressed in pneumatic presses, and then fermented in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts. Fermentation is completed in large oak foudres, and the wines are then racked and aged on their lees in old oak casks.

Josmeyer's has a varied wine portfolio, covering wines at different ends of the price spectrum. The artist series, initiated by Jean Meyer in 1987, includes single-varietalvarietal white wines that are expressive of their variety. Each wine has a label that depicts the wine as imagined by an Alsatian artist.

Varietal Riesling, Gewürztraminer, and Pinot Gris wines are produced from Josmeyer's two Grand Cru vineyards. The vines in these vineyards average around 40 years old and in the best years produce fruit that can be made into Vendange Tardive and Sélection de Grains Nobles wines.

Today, the company remains within the Meyer family and now the sisters are working together.
