Patrick Meyer of Domaine Julien Meyer makes this Riesling Muenchberg Voile Grand Cru 2007 as quite a unique wine... so what do we think about it?

OMG. Riesling which has Noble Rot... then aged under a veil of yeast (sous voille). THIS TASTES INSANE

Nutty & smooth with toffee vibes from the Sous Voile oxidative aging. Herbal, complex, delicate. Massive finish. Whilst not fizzy, this wine almost feels like it has a tingly, fizzy sensation on the tongue after the finish. Almost minty, in the strangest way.

An EPIC wine!

Patrick Meyer runs Domain Meyer, the vineyards of which he inherited when his winemaking father Julien Meyer passed away.

What's unusual to hear in the natural wine world, is Patrick decided to return the vineyard to conventional practices, using lots of pesticides and herbicides as he learnt this is exactly the way vineyards should be treated, having studied at wine school where this was the norm. Farming sustainably was not the modern way back then...

Obviously, he soon realised the issues he had caused with soil and vine health suffering, production of a far lesser quality and with the resulting wines of with no vibrancy or life. He quickly returned to his father's methods and his wines eventually blossomed into living wines. Farming sustainably has given them more expression and depth... and his wines are highly sought after around the world.

He produces 50,000 bottles a year with his 8 hectares of vines.
