Anne et Jean-François Ganevat Madelon 2014

Rubis brillant et pétant de jeunesse. Arômes de petits fruits rouges, c’est ensoleillé, invitant avec un côté nature en arrière-plan, mais présent. Il y a un peu de bulles au départ en bouche, mais ça ne dure pas. Puis c’est la pureté et la simplicité du Gamay dans sa plus simple expression, celle qui porte le sourire aux lèvres! Il y a tellement de notes de fruits, framboises, cerises, fraises, c’est gourmand et le vin coule tout seul. Si je peux lui apporter un aspect négatif, ce serait cette trop grande buvabilité, surtout pour le prix. Mais bon, j’ai eu beaucoup de plaisir avec ce vin, possiblement le meilleur vin nature bu à ce jour… Je vais en boire à nouveau, c’est certain. Excellent (91)

Made of old Gamay vines from Morgon Cru in Beaujolais. Organic farming and natural winemaking. Alcohol level of 12%

Available in small quantities in SAQ stores for 40,25$ (Code SAQ : 12884237)

Anne et Jean-François Ganevat Le Jaja du Ben Vin de France 2014

Foggy ruby color with purple hue. Nose of berries, earth and spices with that little “funky” natural wine typical twist. As it is often the case, it’s on the palate that I like natural wine the most on the palate, and that’s exactly what’s happening now! High drinkability with red berry flavors, earth, spices and a good acidity, clearly my type of wine. May be a little expensive, but so tasty. Very good (89)

Made of Gamay, Poulsard and old vines varieties from Jura. Aged 10 months. Alcohol level of 12,5% 

Available at SAQ stores for 30,25$ (Code SAQ : 12883998)

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)

Guy Breton Régnié 2013

Foggy ruby color. Nose of red berries, earth, dried flowers and this typical nature scent. About the same on the palate in a discret flavor intensity as it is not a monster of concentration and the nature profile of the wine is bringing the fruit up instead of overpowering it. Tasty and drinks rapidly! Very good (89)

Made of Gamay from vines of 35 years old and 100 years old, half from each plot. The ageing is made in part in 3+ wines burgundian oak barrels. Alcohol level of 12%

Available at the SAQ for 28,30$ (Code SAQ : 12705542)

Hacienda Araucano Carmenere Reserva Colchagua 2013

Dark purple color. Nose of black berries, spices, bitter chocolate and grilled greeen bell pepper. Silky mouthfeel that covers some strenght and bitterness, all classical Carmenere caracteristics. May not be long, exactly like the remaining time before grilling red meat dishes on the BBQ in the upcoming warmer season. I’m hungry now! Good (87)
