Ganevat Dinner (San Francisco): Rich, intense nose with notes of lemon, riper orchard fruit, and chalk. Nice acidity with good weight on the palate and flavors of more lemon, citrus zest, apple, and minerals. There quite a bit of richness on both nose and palate but it's balanced by the acidity and citrus flavors. Long finish. Really lovely wine, my favorite of the Grands Teppes.

Golden / amber colour. Rich, complex and long. Hint of Oxidation but not flawed. Butterscotch / caramel (probably from elevage on lees —no new oak). Like a meursault with a hint of oxidation. Intense dry extract gives rich mid palate . Only objection is slightly hot and could use a bit more acidity. Drink up, feels fully mature and lacks structure for further aging.

13.5% Tasted blind. Medium golden. Impressive aromas, yellow fruits, nuts, almonds, thyme. Very rich, sweet and savoury, dense mid palate likes a good grand cru in Burgundy (commented by my friend). Very long and persistent, building up on the palate, lingering. Not easy to pin point the grape varietals as this also display touch of oiliness on the palate. Some thought Rhone Blanc too. Will surely decant my next bottle.

Ripe for Ganevat. Would be a good gateway bottle for those who don't like Jura, but disappointing if you're expecting classic Ganevat.
