Riesling Zellberg 2021 – Julien Meyer

A pure, mineral and vibrant expression of the Zellberg cru

Riesling Zellberg 2021 is a natural white wine made by Patrick Meyer in Nothalten, Alsace. A refined interpretation of the Zellberg terroir, expressed with tension, elegance, and territorial identity. This biodynamic wine is crafted from 100% Riesling Renano, harvested at full ripeness and vinified with minimal intervention to preserve the authenticity of the soil and vintage.

Vineyard philosophy and cellar approach

Patrick Meyer manages Domaine Julien Meyer following the principles of biodynamic and regenerative agriculture. No pesticides or synthetic products are used—only manual work and respect for the natural growth cycle. In the cellar, vinification is spontaneous, with no filtration or fining. The wine matures for at least 12 months on the lees in concrete vats, gaining structure and depth while keeping freshness and tension.

Tasting notes

Pale, bright yellow.
On the nose: aromas of apple, pear, peach, and mirabelle plum with refined mineral undertones.
On the palate: dry, lively, taut and crisp with a long, salty and clean finish.

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.
