Story
Kumpf & Meyer
Alsace · Alsace · France
The Kumpf & Meyer estate is located near Rosheim, along the famous Alsatian wine route. It was created in 1990 from the union of two Alsatian winemaking families, Sophie Kumpf and Philippe Meyer, who initially followed organic practices in the vineyard. The approximately 16 hectares of vineyards span more than 70 plots across five different communities, from north to south. In 2010, Philippe left the winery, and Julien Albertus took over, bringing fresh ideas and energy.
“He uses biodynamic practices in the vineyard to express the true character of the terroir.”
In the cellar, his approach is minimalist and non-intrusive, favouring gentler extractions. His wines are among the most expressive that can be found in Alsace today.
