L&R KoX wine

Laurent & Rita Kox are among the pioneers of Luxembourg’s quietly excellent wine scene, crafting precise, terroir-driven whites along the Moselle River. Their 2021 Riesling, bottled in a liter format for extra enjoyment, showcases the region’s cool-climate freshness and limestone-rich soils. Compared to the richer German styles, Luxembourg Riesling leans into crispness and minerality, making this an invigorating, food-friendly white.

Bright lemon, green apple, and white peach dominate the palate, with a distinct flinty, wet-stone character adding complexity. The acidity is lively yet balanced, keeping the wine refreshing without being austere. Compared to Alsatian Riesling, Kox’s expression is lighter, drier, and more linear, with a saline finish that lingers beautifully.

Perfect for seafood, fresh goat cheese, or light vegetable dishes, this is an easygoing yet serious Riesling that pairs effortlessly with food. Enjoy it now for its youthful energy, and with a full liter in the bottle, there’s plenty to go around.
