Named after the famous sixteenth-century collection of poems, the Livret de Folastries, or book of follies, by French poet Ronsard, this Gewurztraminer is as surprising as its name. Josmeyer vinifies it as a drier wine while retaining its classic varietal characteristics: lychee & spice, mild with notes of honeysuckle & deep minerality. The nose is fine on flower notes. The mouth is full with roses & spices aromas & a fine acidity. Serve with tomatoes
- fennel
- smoked salmon

- exotic cooking

The name of HENGST means stallion. Palish bright yellow. Muskier & more exotic on the nose than the Br&, hinting at pineapple, acacia flower & dusty stone. Then dry & energetic in the mouth, more powerful & backward than the Brand (the alcohol here is 14%, vs. 13% for the Brand). For all its breadth this is locked up today, dominated by a youthful, almost medicinal crushed stone character. Finishes quite dry & uncompromising. Lay this one down. Serve with Seafoods, fish, sushis, sashimis, carpaccio or tartar of fish, goat cheese... ...

Bottled in the spring following harvest to preserve the inherent freshness of its style. 2013 saw some extremely variable weather conditions (a cold winter followed by a wet spring & summer, giving way to a very hot August) but its wines are well balanced with ripe acidity & strong character. The nose opens with white flowers & apple blossom notes, with a light touch of white peaches. The wine is both fresh & rounded in the mouth, reminiscent of ripe apricot or peach, with a clean, long lasting finish. ...

Josmeyer - Grand Cru Hengst Samain 2008 6x 75cl Bottles

SAMAIN is the name given to the most important feast of the Celtic world. It took place in November and announced the end of the harvests, the beginning of dark period. Coming from healthy grapes harvested by successive sortings, the Riesling Hengst Samain is a wine of a great complexity. Yellow with green reflections. The wine immediately makes its complexity and richness felt: a beautiful aromatic nose is matched on the palate with flavours of ripe pear and quince, with an underlying chalky intensity. The plump weight is matched by fine mineral notes and bright acidity which leads to a very long and fine finish. With this wine, you will serve the beautiful sea fish: bar, turbot, elbot, ray, burbot and the others. It will tease lobsters and spiny lobsters. With a little age,
sashimis will be convenient for him marvelously. Old cheeses such of the old cheese like Comte, Gouda or Parmesan will be sublimated by this wine which sublimates its complexity through a language of the salt.
