Light golden color, citrus and pear notes. Very precise acidity combined with soft and round mouthfeel . Really good now. I’m not sure about the longevity.

While this bottle was enjoyable, it was clearly on the downhill side of its drinking window. It has nice citrus fruit, although it was somewhat in the background, plus good minerality and acidity.

Light golden straw in color. We certainly get the references to pear and citrus noted below. This is substantial, deep, and benefiting from lively acidity, it has substantial drive. Lovely over three nights.

This opens with lots of pear and citrus fruit. It has crisp acidity with a juicy mouthfeel. Very nice, but I would not wait too long before pulling the corks on your remaining bottles.

Superlative. Great energy, mineral, citrus, expands on the mid-palate, and fabulous energetic long finish. In a perfect spot. Just a touch oxiditive but that’s part of the package. Best now over next 3-4 years.

acidity in the smell. acidity in the taste and finish. Great wine, needs a little bit of oxygen. Can be drunk now, but also keep in cellar for some years

In a very nice place today. There's some baked apple, preserved lemon and iodine on the nose. It is fresh and intense in the mouth, with pulpy citrus flavours and a gentle nutty undercurrent. It has a lactic quality that adds texture. The finish is dry and chalky.

Grand blanc dense et baroque, d'une grande buvabilité et à la pureté et richesse d'un premier cru de Raveneau. Superbe et il en a encore sous la pédale.

Pas le millésime le mieux réussi pour cette grande cuvée de Ganevat: c'est relativement long, avec une belle minéralité, mais pas la la hauteur de la réputation de cette cuvée. En fait, connaissant le sérieux du producteur, il s'agit sans doute uniquement de l'effet millésime. 91

Exclusive dinner with eight friends and 22 special wines.: In the bouquet citrus, white fruits and chalky minerals. On the palate tight and focused with a lot of lemon and lime citrus, crustacean and other minerals. Very clean and a good length. Still very youthful. 89 – 90.

Sharp lemon which is tempered with a touch of butter and almond. Class act chardonnay. There is a slightly honeyed floral note. The palate starts reticent but, with air, expands to show a wealth of body. The wine is tightly held in by the ripping acidity, a point of salt at the finish. It never approaches aggressive but it is a very taught wine today. Quaffable with the right food.

A Jura Wine Tasting (Jeff K's): Another beautiful Chardonnay. Light golden in color. The nose is minerals with some peach but this one also shows some oak/vanilla. More towards lemon creme on the palate. Very round but enough acidity to carry it. Lots of depth and intensity here. Again, it more about minerals than fruit, but in a rounder, more full bodied way. Very interesting.

First time trying Ganevat, found this very intense, somewhat round, with citrus, ripe pear, and a touch of that Jura oxidized style.

Straw yellow color with a taste that shows focus and restraint and acidity. Much better than the red wine offerings he makes.

Awesome. Light golden color. Crisp long lasting taste of pear and citrus. A long life ahead.

Un vin tendre au joli équilibre sans grande intensité, éclat, race ni longueur. Faible pour le cru à mon avis, mais surtout cher payé. 89-90

Much better showing than before. Needs more time but clean white fruit, good length with lots of tension. Moreish.

Drinking great right now. Better than the first bottle. Citrus, mineral and very good balance to the palate. Very clean fruits and mineral.

High acid, good fruit, needs time to settle. Not as long as I'd like, but that might just be youth. Hold for a while.

A great chardonnay especially with some air. It is mineral and chalky and displays plenty of whtie and yellow fruit. Very balanced on the palate.
