The Neumeyer farm comprises 40 acres of vine parcels in the northern part of Alsace (Bas-Rhin). Organically farmed since 2010, Jérôme Neumeyer has now fully taken over winemaking at the domaine since his father Gérard’s passing in 2019. Though the style of wine is still precise and very well executed, Jérôme has his own philosophy, being involved in the new generation wave of Alsatian wine makers. Going beyond his father’s organic hand tending of the parcels, Jérôme has started to adopt biodynamic principles as well.
Harvest is executed with multiple passes over 4-5 weeks to capture optimum maturity, aiming for the right acidity in the white varieties and balance for the Pinot Noir. Grapes are handpicked and from vineyard to the cellar, gentle handling of the delicate grapes is of paramount importance. In the cellar, every measure is taken to ensure that both the terroir and individual character of each variety is fully expressed. The wines are aged on their lees in large, older, oak foudres. The wines are made with focused acidity, minerality and finesse.
Domaine Neumeyer’s wines are perennially ranked among the appellation’s best by Guide Hachette, Bettane & Desseauve and La Revue du Vin de France. Their perfectly situated vineyards are planted to all four of the appellation’s noble varieties; Riesling, Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc and Gewurztraminer as well as Muscat.
