Domaine GANEVAT - Les Rescapés - Savagnin 2021
The 2021 Les Rescapés cuvée from Domaine Ganevat is a unique and deeply expressive interpretation of Savagnin, the emblematic grape variety of the Jura. This cuvée illustrates Jean-François Ganevat's sensitive and artisanal approach, where each wine is born from attentive listening to the grape and its origin. Les Rescapés embodies a philosophy of absolute respect for life, favoring sincerity of expression over any pursuit of standardization. The 2021 vintage offers a balanced matter, marked by beautiful freshness and natural energy. This wine stands out for its assertive identity and precise reading of Savagnin. It reflects a demanding yet never rigid vision of contemporary Jura wine. A characterful cuvée, designed for lovers of deep and authentic whites.
The nose reveals a nuanced and complex aromatic profile, blending notes of white fruits, fresh apple, and citrus zest. Upon aeration, more mineral and slightly spicy touches appear, adding relief and depth. On the palate, the attack is straight and structured, supported by a fine acidity that gives the wine great length. The matter is precise, without heaviness, allowing the grape's identity to fully express itself. The aromas gradually evolve towards saline and slightly stony nuances. The balance between tension and breadth is perfectly mastered. The finish is persistent, clean, and elegant.
Les Rescapés 2021 is a wine that can be appreciated today for its clarity and energy, while offering interesting aging potential over several years. It expresses itself equally well at the table or during attentive tasting, where its complexity fully reveals itself. This cuvée embodies Domaine Ganevat's ability to produce sincere wines, deeply rooted in their terroir, while remaining open and alive. It asserts itself as a free and controlled expression of Savagnin. A wine of nuance, precision, and character. A bottle faithful to the demanding and independent spirit of the domaine.
