Jean-François Ganevat, Grusse en Billat, Chardonnay, Côtes du Jura
| Vintage: | 2016 |
|---|---|
| Description: | I love the fluorescent yellow color of the Chardonnay 2016 Grusse en Billat, which portrays a pungent nose and feels very mineral and complex, with a bitter touch that feels very Jura—different from Burgundy—finishing long and dry. All of Ganevat's whites from 2016 are between 12% and 13.2% alcohol, and 2016 was a fresh vintage here, fresher than the ripe 2015 and very different from the often-exotic 2016 whites from Burgundy that had the concentration effect of the frost that didn't hit here until 2017. But these 2016s feel a lot more powerful than what they are. This is intense, and I love the magic color it has! I think this could be the last vintage for this wine, as he gave this vineyard to Kenjiro Kagami from Domaine des Miroirs (look him up in this very same issue, because his wines are mind-boggling). Or maybe he gave him part and kept another part, I'll try to ask Ganevat next time…"-(94-95)WA, 2020-2030 |
