Le Zone à Dédée Magnum - Grand Cul Classé - Anne and Jean-François Ganevat - 2022 Release - Vin de France Blanc

Presentation of the domain

Anne & Jean-François Ganevat (Rotalier, Jura) create high-precision natural micro-cuvées: hand-harvested, indigenous yeasts, careful aging, and very moderate sulfur. A pure, lively style, centered on the expression of fruit and textures.

Presentation of the vintage

“Le Zaune à Dédée” – Vin de France Blanc, here in magnum (1.5 L) and with a playful “Grand Cul Classé” label. Blend dominated by Gewurztraminer, supplemented by Savagnin. Skin maceration for the Gewurztraminer; aging under a veil for the Savagnin, bringing spices, tension and a saline touch. Unfined and unfiltered; very limited sulfur.

Presentation of the bet

2022 bottling: a non-vintage cuvée with an expressive aromatic profile and serious drinkability. Open now (serve at 10–12°C) or cellar for 3–5 years to gain spicy complexity and fullness.

Tasting notes

Charming nose of rose, lychee and kumquat, notes of light walnut and sweet spices. Dry, ample and taut palate, noble bitters of orange peel, long, salivating and saline finish. A white wine with character, both delicious and incisive.

Bottle condition

Magnum in perfect condition: impeccable level and color; very beautiful label and capsule. 2022 bottling. Unfiltered wine: a slight natural sediment may appear.
