Owing to the blockage of maturity during the summer of '05, Jean Meyer harvested a number of his riesling parcels in three separate passes, as he had major differences in the ripeness of the grapes, even within bunches. "We have had to wait to see the quality of the 2005 rieslings," he told me. "The wines are strict but they're not simple." The pinot gris and gewurztraminer bottlings here are also big and rich, but Meyer believes these wines will need time in bottle to develop their flavors. And he pointed out that he managed to produce pinot gris with alcohol levels in the low 13s, rather than the 14% level seen in 2004 and 2003, which he feels is too high for this variety. Meyer noted that his production levels in 2005 were the lowest he has ever had with the exception of 2003.
