It was great to have tried Eponyme, as sad as the story behind it may be. Very pure, mineral, some citrus and yeasty notes, fresh acidity. Very cool wine.

Consistent with other notes- mousy nose was off putting for me. As it warmed from fridge temp it opened a little but I did not love this. Glad I tried it.

Since we recently had great luck with the 2018, we leapt at the chance to try an older one from a restaurant list. Deep yellow, orange tinged. Aromas of herb, melon, hay, honey, and just a whiff of grilled nuts. Full bodied, lovely glycerine texture. Dry, savory, and rich with cleansing acidity and a lightly oxidative note. Not about the fruit, which you feel more than taste. This really evoked Savennières for me. Not an everyday wine but full of interest and very food friendly-from asparagus to eel to pork loin.

A fresh quince, bruised pear, chalk, and spice on the nose. Clean and fresh on the palate with a little textural lees feeling. Chalky with well balanced seemingly low dosage. Finishes fresh and mouthwatering. Outstanding. 90

Pale yellow, medium+ intensity with lemon, elderflower, pineapple, minerality, slightly oxidative, grassy. Medium+ acidity, very long finish. 92+

Normally I’m not having great analogies while drinking a wine, but this felt like a fresh spring mountain stream with a unparalleled clarity.

The story behing this vintage is actually quite sad; the 2020 vintage has been made by Ganevat because the winemaker Dominique Belluart took his life.

Only 22ha worldwide planted with Gringet…

Medium yellow bold - bronze
On the nose, prominent honeycomb, ripe opal apple, picked veggies, chamomile
Palate matches the nose, rich mouthfeel to start with a lean finish
Kombucha like drinking experience (in a good way)
So kewl to have sparkling gringet again!

Issu d'un très vieux cépage savoyard, le Gringet
Eloboré et cultivé sans pesticides de synthèse.
Élevé minimum quatre ans sur lattes afin de transmettre la meilleure expression du terroir.

Retasted 10 days later (coravin preserved) - wow!! Much more open on the palate and nose, more like blood orange and orange blossom instead, softer on the chewiness. So kewl!

Enjoyed in upstate hot tub with Jenny, Ivana and Juan

Interesting and tasty, probably wouldn’t buy more. I got this with the Antica Terra “Yes” club so didn’t quite know what to expect. This is quite a bit less carbonated than a champagne although more than a pet Nat. It also lacks the acidity of a champagne. The overall impression is quite cider-y, with the dominant flavor of ripe yellow apple.

(CDV)
Pas bu dans les meilleures conditions (passait après 2 grands Jura), mais brièvement:
Fin et puissant, bien minéral, aromatique assez discrète, mais -étrangement - j’ai toujours avec ce vin une sensation de céphalée assez rapide.
Je retrouve cependant la belle énergie de cette cuvée que j’apprécie avec qq années, révélant son terroir et sa tension saline.

medium gold colored. nose of ripe golden apples and honey. slightly oxidized. medium bodied with a very well integrated high acidity, not too sharp. rich and unctuous apple and honey flavors with a great herbaceous twist. a little bit leesy as well. walnut oil at the back. medium length finish with a gentle, clean taper. uniquely savoie and among the better examples.

Deep yellow. This started with aromas of ripe melon, pineapple, and a touch of honey. With more air in the glass, faint herbs and more pronounced aromatic florality. Lovely medium+ weight and glycerine feel most reminiscent of Loire Chenin Blanc. Dry, excellent acidity, and a mineral, soil laden edge. Perhaps it showed a whiff of oxidation as well, but nothing overtly maderized, and it continued to improve over time. Unique wine which we really enjoyed and for which I had few reference points. Interestingly, the sommelier mentioned that he had noticed quite a bit of bottle variation in bottles opened here in the U.S. with some being funky, but we found this bottle clean, complex, and full of intrigue.

Pure Gringet for this classic method from Savoie. Elegant and persistent perlage. Spicy, floral, lemon peel and green apple notes on the nose.
Intense acidity on the palate with a nice mineral sensation and good persistence.

Nose not very expressive at first. Then opens up on hay.
Wine is long with depth without any flaws. Taste of hay and grapefruit.
No particular evolution through the dinner. Ready to drink now.

The Eponyme has a sad story but I suppose that adds to the poignancy of the wine. The first one I’ve actually opened and therefore my first time tasting Gringet. Verbena and elderflower. Slight effervescence and a light touch of VA, perhaps unsurprising since the wine was made by Ganevat after the original proprietor’s (the eponymous Belluard) untimely passing. Interestingly felt quite ferric (as opposed to the salty/chalky feeling from limestone), unsure if that’s anything to do with the terroir. Excellent balance of concentration with tension and persistent without losing energy. A great wine in its own right.

Noble Rot Lambs Conduit, London - paired with variety of seafood small plates.

apples, leaning almost towards apple pie. Citrus. Some herb and farm funkiness especially at the aftertaste.

Interesting on its own and paired very well

No formal notes - working from memory. A substantial white wine. Citrus, lemon mousse, toasted almonds, green apples, with good minerality and acidity. Well structured and distinct. Drinking well now, but perhaps can improve further.

Resto saint Nicolas at megeve, Friday evening. Chef worked at le 1920 before and this is sophisticated food - highly recommended if you pass by megeve. Pairing with the first 2 starters - saint Jacques and a soup. Medium gold color. Nose reminds me of a savignin / vin jaune but with more fruit like sweet apples and pineapple. Med acidity, med body, med alcohol, med flavor intensity, med finish. Minerality, orange, sweet apple, pineapple, oxidative note, lingering salinity. Excellent 👌
