Meyer-Fonne Gentil 2016

Meyer is a master at the art of blending and astutely applies this skill in mixing the wine from various parcels into complex, balanced cuvées. Their bottling of Gentil d’Alsace, named after the older meaning of the word, noble (and noble it is), is made up of 50% Riesling, and 25% is Muscat.

You’ll find an elegant and chalky nose, on a delicate base of rose petals. But it’s the palate of lychees, yellow raspberries, and chamomile that shows the full complexity of this dry, linear wine.
