Josmeyer Riesling Le Kottabe, Alsace AOC 2023

The harvest is 100% manual. The grapes are pressed whole for about 6 hours in pneumatic presses. The settling is natural. Fermentation starts spontaneously with the yeasts in the middle in hundred-year-old casks. It is followed by aging on fine lees for several months, until bottling, which usually takes place at the end of spring. Before bottling, the wine is filtered. Le Kottabe was imagined and created by Jean MEYER in 1986. The name, from the Greek "O Kottabos" was a game of skill, mixing wine and love. It was practiced in Greece during banquets in the 5th century BC. At the same time, the verticality of the consonants recalls the slender and assertive character of this grape variety. This dry Riesling is defined by its nervous and digestible structure. Thus, depending on the vintage, the wine will be delicate and precise on the nose, with scents of citrus fruits, grapefruit or even blood orange for hot vintages or vegetal notes of aromatic herbs with iodized touches over a longer year. fresh. The mouth carried by a tense and long acidity structure the citrus fruit which develops in a harmonious way. A great salinity as well as a beautiful minerality accompanies the material which opens out after a few minutes of aeration.
