Riesling RN422 2021 – Julien Meyer

Citrusy elegance and creamy minerality in a vibrant Alsatian white
Riesling RN422 2021 by Julien Meyer is a biodynamic white wine from Alsace, made from hand-harvested Riesling grapes grown organically near Nothalten. It reflects the purity and structure of its terroir, combining lively citrus freshness, floral finesse and a creamy-mineral texture that lingers with elegance.

Vineyard philosophy and cellar work

Grapes are grown following certified organic farming practices on well-exposed, mineral-rich slopes. Handpicked at full ripeness in early October, they are gently pressed and fermented with native yeasts in stainless steel tanks. The wine rests on its fine lees for several months to build depth and finesse, with minimal intervention and no fining or filtration.

Bright, clear yellow hue.
On the nose: lime, ripe peach, wildflowers and wet stone.
On the palate: lively acidity balanced by a delicate creaminess and a salty, lingering finish.

A versatile, gastronomic Riesling

This wine pairs beautifully with seafood, sashimi, tartare, white meats, fresh cheeses and spicy dishes. Equally enjoyable as a refined aperitif.

Domaine Meyer – Julien and Patrick Meyer

Family Roots and Viticultural Continuity

The story of Domaine Meyer begins with Julien Meyer, a passionate winemaker in Alsace. Upon his passing, his son Patrick Meyer inherited the vineyards and the family tradition. Interestingly, Patrick initially returned to conventional farming before committing fully to natural, chemical-free, and holistic viticulture, building upon and evolving his father’s legacy.

A Conscious Transformation

Patrick’s dual shift—first toward traditional methods, then fully into natural winemaking—marks a rare and thoughtful path in the world of natural wine. His work reflects a commitment to soil health, vine vitality, and the authentic expression of grape and place. Every choice in the vineyard and cellar is guided by respect for ecological balance and varietal purity.

Experimental Yet Deeply Authentic Wines

Domaine Meyer’s wines are known for their bold expressiveness. Labels like LouLou, Pinot Gris Maceration, and Riesling Grand Cru Muenchberg are surprising and memorable. Each bottle showcases Alsatian identity with both raw honesty and stylistic freedom—wines that break conventions while remaining true to their roots.

Philosophy and Impact

For Patrick, wine is a tool to narrate the land, the seasons, and the deeply Alsatian landscape. His work is craft-based, observational, and low-intervention, with no added sulfites or chemicals. It’s a philosophy for those who seek transparent, emotional, and living wines, produced with consistency and a strong sense of familial memory.
