"Straw-yellow. Fresh citrus aromas on the nose. Then fresh and juicy, offering flavors of tangerine peel and lime. Lovely wine with harmonious acidity and blood orange nuances that linger nicely. This should be on sale by now." - By Ian D'Agata on September 2017

Our tasting Note: hay, lanolin, honey, lemon verbena. medium bodied,  medium plus acid surprising viscosity and weight, but still refreshing and bone dry.  

This is a pure and mineral Riesling with delicate spice, firm peach and some herbaceous notes. It's youthful and well balanced, with a lovely airy quality.-winery

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 5^th century BC.

This dry Riesling is defined by its nervous and digestible structure.   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. 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.
