  A variety of wines and foods of Alsace (Domaine Josmeyer): This may be the best Pinot Noir from Alsace that I can recall tasting. Just two barrels of the stuff, so about 600 bottles. Tomorrow at the trade show, I will try other reds from this domain, as 18% of its production goes to red, and this particular wine is very small production. The vines are not that old - about 15 years (as opposed to the 45 year old vines at Armand Hurst, tasted before). But the vines are trained to be lower to the ground, to get as much of the heat from the stony surface - granite - as possible. Full south exposure on very high elevation terroir, about 450 meters above sea. One gets the impression of superb ripeness, almost jam like, but with fine structure and balance. Bravo!
