In 1854, Aloyse Meyer, a restaurant owner and wine broker, decided to extend the family business into the cultivation of some of the best sites in Alsace, especially the Hengst and Brand vineyards, now recognised as Grand Cru. Josmeyer is still firmly in family hands to this day. In the year 2000, Jean decided to convert to organic and biodynamic farming. Today, Josmeyer is run by Celine and Isabelle Meyer. Celine is the CEO and runs the company, Amnd Isabelle is responsible for what goes in each bottle. These wines are fantastic and seem to have a life of their own, the passion is palpable with each taste. We will be tasting two Riesling, four Pinot Gris, and two Gewurzrtraminer.

With the recent release of Charles Heidsieck Blanc de Blanc, we thought it was an opportune moment to look at the whole range. Charles is synonymous with quality in the Champagne world and always has been since it's inception in the mid 1800's. It was Charles himself, fondly renamed Champagne Charlie, that took Charles Heidsieck out to the world. He conquered America and became the darling of New York society. In a letter to his wife in 1860, he penned "there is a rumour about me an excitement as they say, that we will greatly benefit from". When he returned to Europe, he went on to charm both England and Belgium. The wine was always made with meticulous attention to detail and that continues to this day. It is known as "Typiquement Charles" and each Cellar Master declares having been inspired by the embodiment of Champagne Charlie.
