Felix Meyer of Meyer-Fonné owns 10 hectares and works another 3.5 from rentals, with several prime grand cru sites at his disposal: Wineck-Schlossberg, Kaefferkopf, Furstentum, Sporen and Schoenenbourg. The estate also owns vines in numerous high-quality lieux-dit, such as Pfoeller (where the Sommerberg turns in the direction of the Florimont), Dorfburg and Hinterburg. Meyer did very well in both 2010 and 2011, but I think the quality leap between his entry-level wines and the grand crus is very evident, more so than at most other estates. His great 2010s are not to be missed, and the grand crus really offer a lesson on differences in terroir. Also recommended: 2011 Gentil d'Alsace (86).
