Domaine GANEVAT - L'Enfant Terrible - Poulsard 2023
The 2023 L’Enfant Terrible cuvée from Domaine Ganevat is a free and vibrant interpretation of Poulsard, the emblematic grape variety of Jura, dear to the nonconformist spirit of Jean-François Ganevat. This red wine embodies an unpretentious yet demanding vision, where freshness, drinkability, and fruit expression take precedence over any quest for power. L’Enfant Terrible lives up to its name, claiming a frank, spontaneous, and deeply lively personality. The work in the vineyard and cellar aims to preserve the purest identity of the grape variety, with a respectful approach to the grape and life itself. The 2023 vintage highlights a radiant texture and great aromatic clarity. This cuvée is aimed at lovers of fine, airy, and expressive reds. It fully reflects the stylistic freedom of the domaine.
The nose is delicate and charming, marked by aromas of fresh red fruits, evoking strawberry, light cherry, and redcurrant. Subtle floral notes and a slight spicy touch bring finesse and complexity to the whole. On the palate, the attack is soft, fluid, and immediately gourmand. The texture is light, supported by a fine acidity that gives the wine a lot of energy. The tannins are very discreet, almost melted, enhancing the sensation of softness and digestibility. Poulsard expresses itself in an airy and bright register, while remaining precise. The finish is fresh, clean, and particularly thirst-quenching.
L’Enfant Terrible 2023 is a wine of immediate pleasure, ideal for convivial and spontaneous tasting, but which retains a true terroir identity. It is best enjoyed slightly chilled to highlight its freshness and gourmandise. This cuvée perfectly illustrates Domaine Ganevat’s ability to produce accessible wines while remaining faithful to a high qualitative standard. It naturally finds its place on simple tables as well as in the cellars of enlightened amateurs. A free, sincere, and joyful Poulsard. A lively, expressive, and terribly endearing bottle.
