The story
Family-run for several generations, the Meyer family has been present in Katzenthal since the 18th century. The estate was established by Félix Meyer, and management has remained within the family, with successive generations modernizing the estate and developing exports and direct sales.
Production philosophy
The estate aims to faithfully express the character of each individual terroir through parcel-by-parcel management, minimal pest control, differentiated soil-management practices and careful winemaking that highlights fermentations with indigenous yeasts and ageing on the fine lees.
Terroir and vineyards
The vineyard extends over a variety of soil types and exposures around Katzenthal and in six neighboring communes. The estate also owns parcels in renowned Grands Crus such as Wineck‑Schlossberg, Kaefferkopf, Sporen, Schoenenbourg, Furstentum and Mandelberg.
