The 2016 Marsannay Clos du Roy was cropped at a reasonable 35 hectoliters per hectare with no problem of frost or mildew. It has a forward and quite impressive bouquet of raspberry, cranberry and a touch of blackberry, well defined if fairly straightforward.

The 2023 Marsannay Clos du Roy had been racked one month before my visit and will continue aging in larger 600-liter barrels. This is understated, very poised and focused on the nose that unfolds succinctly in the glass.

The Jean Francois Ganevat Cotes du Jura Les Vignes de Mon Pere 2002 is a distinctively captivating wine, crafted with imagination and verisimilitude in the revered region of Cotes du Jura, France. This wine emanates from the vineyard of legendary producer, Jean Francois Ganevat. Noted globally for his commitment to biodynamic principles and low-intervention methods in winemaking, Ganevat meticulously hand-harvests Savagnin grapes, allowing them to mature for several years in oak barrels, and without topping. The result of this time-honoured process is an extraordinary wine, delectably rich and complex. Its bouquet of orchard fruits, citrus, honey and almonds is entrancing, whilst the palate reveals delightful nuances of vibrant acidity and profound minerality.

This is the wine we had all been waiting to be bottled. The 2010 Les Vignes de Mon Père, a Savagnin from schiste carton marl soils in the lieu-dit of Les Champs Bernards, was finally put into bottle the 30th of October 2024, after almost 14 years in topped-up 600-liter barrels with no added sulfur dioxide. The wine reveals a slightly darker shade of gold and a subtle and calmed-down nose, slowly unfurling more complex aromas of caramelized yellow fruit, and it's dense and complex. It was produced from the Savagnin Vert biotype of the grape that delivers a more austere nose than the Savagnin Jaune, the yellow variety, and it also delivers lower yields. It has incredible energy and light, and it's very long, tasty and salty, very umami-tasting. 1,000 bottles produced. On two previous occasions, I had tasted this wine unbottled next to another 10 vintages of this wine, and it had always showed superbly, above the rest, and the bottled wine delivers all those tastings had promised. I've been uncorking some older vintages from my cellar recently, and the wines are aging very slowly. This is at the top of the hierarchy. The stuff dreams are made of. Bravo!!Inc. TAX€1,893.49 -

The last wine I tasted chez Ganevat (before leaving for a bite to eat and a couple of crazy bottles or six!), the unexpected 2005 La Cuvée du Pépé, a Chardonnay on steroids, was aged under a veil of yeasts à la Vin Jaune but with the clout of Chardonnay and the intensity of a year like 2005, which had enough power to undergo an extended élevage of 13 years under a veil of yeasts! This is a concentrated version of the previously released 2008, but it has a much stronger goût de Jaune and is musky, spicy, dense and concentrated, incredibly pungent on the palate, taking your tastebuds for spin along a spice bazaar. Super powerful stuff!Inc. TAX€6,349.32 -
(6x150cl) 2019Dive into the exquisite complexity of the Jean Francois Ganevat Cotes Jura La Graviere 2019. This exceptional vintage hails from the world-renowned Jura region of eastern France, famed for its diverse soil and unique expressions of local terroirs. The artisanal producer, Jean Francois Ganevat, a master of biodynamic winemaking, meticulously blends Chardonnay and Savagnin for this cuvée. Ganevat applies rigorous attention to detail, from hand-harvesting to indigenous yeast fermentations and extended élevage in Burgundian barrels. The result is a sensual symphony of influences, marked by striking minerality, layers of white fruit and nuanced, nutty depths. Its richness is perfectly balanced by a refreshing, aromatic acidity. The Jean Francois Ganevat Cotes Jura La Graviere 2019 is a testament to tradition and innovation, capturing the quintessence of Jura in every bottle.

The 2003 Cuvée Jean Gautreau is a blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc picked between September 10 and 24. It has a fragrant bouquet of well-defined black fruit mixed with fresh fig and a touch of canned prune, but as with the 2003 Sociando-Mallet, there is no sense of overripeness. The fleshy palate is medium-bodied with soft tannin and touches of prune, white pepper and sage. Missing some tension on the finish, but otherwise this is drinking well.

The 2011 Cuvée Jean Gautreau is a blend of 63% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot and 6% Cabernet Franc picked between September 7 and 27. It has a simple, earthy bouquet that feels a bit dull compared to the excellent 2009 and 2010 vintages. The medium-bodied palate is nicely balanced, simple but focused, displaying fine tannin and tobacco-tinged black fruit on the rather short finish.

The 2012 Cuvée Jean Gautreau is a blend of 67% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot and 6% Cabernet Franc picked between September 28 and October 15. It has more definition and vivacity than the 2011, offering black fruit, tobacco and graphite notes; the Cabernet is clearly in the driver’s seat while Merlot gives directions. The ripe palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin. This is perhaps the most modern in style of all the Cuvée Jean Gautreaus that I have tasted, yet there is panache here, and it feels long and tender in the mouth.

Jean Germain Saumur Cabrose 2022 exemplifies the elegance and finesse characteristic of the Loire Valley’s esteemed Saumur appellation. Crafted meticulously by the renowned Jean Germain estate, this Cabernet Sauvignon-based wine benefits from the region’s limestone-rich terroir, imparting a distinctive minerality. The grapes are hand-harvested from sustainably managed vineyards, ensuring optimal ripeness and purity. Fermentation is conducted in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the wine’s vibrant fruit flavours, followed by a period of maturation in French oak barrels for twelve months, which adds subtle layers of complexity and fine tannins. On the palate, the 2022 vintage reveals notes of blackcurrant, cedar, and a hint of herbal undertones, culminating in a long, harmonious finish. Perfect for pairing with red meats or aged cheeses, Jean Germain Saumur Cabrose 2022 is a testament to expert craftsmanship and the unparalleled quality of Saumur wines.
