The 2020 White Alsace Riesling Le Kottabe is of an absolute purity, with beautifully mature aromas of white fruits, peach, cardamom and burnt cream, a rather astonishing register for a Riesling, made possible thanks to a well accomplished maturity. The palate is rich, ample, generous and preserves, by its natural acidity and its subtle and controlled tension, an affirmed typicity. It is a dry Riesling, but without any austerity, which will perfectly match a gastronomic cuisine based on fish, or even sweetbreads with a creamy curry juice. Rated 92/100 by our Selection Committee. |
