The domain and the wines of Patrick Meyer

The wine estate is located at an altitude of 250m, on soils of gneiss, clay, schist and sand. Patrick Meyer, defining himself as farmer as winemaker, looks for minerality and the expression of the terroir in his wines. With the least rainy climate in France, maturation is slower and more uneven, so he has chosen to vinify each plot separately.
