Light gold color. Very aromatic nose of pear, pineapple, citrus fruit, spices, nuts and light notes of oak. About the same flavor profile as the nose, mouth coating with a good acidity level and a salty finish. Will pair well with grilled shrimps, poultry plates but even more with cheese! Very good (89)

Light ruby orange-ish color. Nose of red berries, gooseberries with some earth and green notes. Intense but not concentrated flavors of red fruits, rhubarb, gooseberries all paired with a bright acidity and a high drinkability. Satisfying and original as Jura can often do. Very good (89)

Anne et Jean-François Ganevat J’en Veux Encore 2014

The color is between ruby and light garnet. Expressive nose of small berries, earth, sweet spices and that natural wine but balanced twist. Had some fizz at bottle opening, but disappeared quickly to offer pure goodness and litterally quench our thirst as it drinks so well. It had fruit, it’s fun to drink and yes, we do want more (J’en Veux Encore)! Very good+ (90) 

Made of old Gamay vines from Beaujolais and Jura old grape varieties. Natural winemaking, no fining or sulfur added. Aged 10 months. Alcohol level of 12%

Was sold at the SAQ for 36,75$, but sold completly quite fast… (Code SAQ : 12884190)

Jean-François Ganevat Le Montceau Côtes du Jura 2014

Foggy and intense gold color. The nose is intriguing, hard to describe and is like nothing I had before. I would picture it as a blend of aromas of apples, rhubarb and orange spreaded over a slate rock, plus some smoke and pie crust dough. Even more dense on the palate with apple and tangerine flavors, quite round at first then it straighten up with mineral chalk and rocks with a salty touch. Wide on the palate while being straight forward, long, genuine and tasty. One special thing I liked about that wine is that impression of control and balance. Excellent (91)91)

Made of Chardonnay planted on marnes du Lias type of soil. Organic farming, natural winemaking, no sulfur added. Alcohol level of 12%

Very small quantities available at the SAQ for 40,25$ (Code SAQ : 12884392)

Bouvret & Ganevat Les Compères Côtes du Jura 2012

Deep gold color for a wine that young. Aromas where honey, melon and ripe pears goes along with earth, mushrooms and flowers. Bright on the palate with good acidity and flavors of honey, green melon, Bosc pear and a hint of spices. Rich but balanced, I would pair this wine with a melting brie cheese topped with cranberries and nuts or bites of prosciutto wrapped cantaloupe. Very good (89)

Made of Chardonnay. From the negoce activity of Ganevat. Alcohol level of 12%

Available at the SAQ for 29,05$ (SAQ code : 11544003 )
