Anne and Jean-François GANEVAT - Yellow Wine 2015
The 2015 Yellow Wine from Anne and Jean-François Ganevat is a masterful and deeply authentic interpretation of this great emblematic wine from the Jura. Made exclusively from the Savagnin grape variety, it comes from gray marl terroirs, particularly suited to producing yellow wines of great depth. This cuvée is crafted with the utmost respect for Jura tradition, where time and patience play a fundamental role. Produced in the estate's cellars, this wine underwent a long and demanding aging process, an essential condition for the fullest expression of Savagnin under veil. The 2015 vintage offers a ripe and structured material, perfectly adapted to this style of vinification. This Yellow Wine embodies an authentic and uncompromising vision of this mythical wine. It is intended for lovers of great characterful wines with long aging potential.
The nose reveals great aromatic intensity, marked by the classic signatures of yellow wine. Notes of fresh walnut, hazelnut, spices, mild curry, and dried fruits intertwine with a deep mineral framework. Upon aeration, more complex nuances of wax, dried apple, and undergrowth appear. On the palate, the attack is broad and structured, supported by controlled power and remarkable length. The texture is dense, with constant energy supporting the whole. The Savagnin here expresses all its nobility, between tension, depth, and aromatic persistence. The balance between intensity and elegance is remarkable. The finish is very long, saline, and deeply marked by the veil.
This cuvée was vinified and then aged for ten years under veil in the estate's cellars, following a rigorous traditional approach. This long aging confers exceptional complexity, natural stability, and remarkable aging potential to the wine. The 2015 Yellow Wine is a gastronomic wine, intended for great occasions as well as meditative tastings. It can be kept for many years in the cellar without losing its brilliance. This cuvée illustrates Anne and Jean-François Ganevat's total commitment to the great wines of Jura, faithful to their terroir and history. A powerful, elegant, and timeless wine. An essential reference for contemporary yellow wine.
