  A blend of purchased Gamay from Morgon, Beaujolais (75%), and Poulsard and Savagnin from Jura (sometimes Enfariné as well) in unknown proportions. Aged for a year in old oak barrels. Bottled unfined, unfiltered and without any SO2 on 20th of July, 2022. 11,5% alcohol. Lot number L2111.
  
  Pale-to-medium-deep cherry-red color. The nose feels pungent and heavily reductive with aromas of struck match, acrid smoke and some sulfurous tones, a little bit of crunchy redcurrant, light funky notes of animale and a hint of earth. The wine feels ripe, juicy and slightly lifted on the palate with a medium body and somewhat wild flavors of dark forest fruits, some volatile notes of nail polish, a little bit of cherry, light wild strawberry tones, a hint of earth and a touch of tangy salinity. The structure relies solely on the high acidity as there are no perceptible tannins. The finish is wild, crunchy and moderately long with a dry aftertaste of redcurrants and tangy salinity, some earthy tones, a little bit of tart cranberry, light stuffy reductive tones, a hint of gunpowder smoke and a touch of sweet red cherry.
  
  A simple, straightforward and rather stuffy naturalist red that suffers from excessive reduction. Just as last time (with the 2018 vintage), I was positively surprised how the wine didn't turn mousy - it certainly feels like a wine that would develop mousy flavors very soon after opening a bottle! Otherwise the wine didn't leave a particularly memorable impression. Even if the 2018 we tasted a few years before wasn't a particularly thrilling effort, I think it was still a bit more interesting and enjoyable compared to this vintage. I wonder how Ganevat makes some of the most thrilling whites in Jura, but their reds are always a let-down?

  Somebody call the Glougenheim - this is one chuggable wine!
  
  Though it’s 75% gamay from old vines in Morgon, there’s little that suggests gamay to me. Some of the aromas are there, but none of structure of Cru Bojo.
  
  Bright light ruby with just a tinge of orange, telling of the light extraction. Just slightly cloudy.
  
  Highly reductive at first, but winds down with air. Bright aromas of fresh sweet berries, some peppery spice notes and herbs.
  
  Lively mouthfeel, almost a slight fizz (though no boubles, of course). Silky and slender, but good concentration of fruit. Strawberries, red cherries and cranberries. This had absolutely no tannins.
  
  Should be served chilled. With just 11,5% abv, this is your friend on a sunny summer evening. Cool and fun, not complex.

  75% Gamay from Morgon Beajolais + 25% Poulsard and Savagnin from the Jura.
  Very pale pink Oeil de Perdrix colour.
  On the nose this is a pungent, flinty, limestone mineral proposition with hints of wilted rose petals and wild strawberries.
  This is emulated on the palate with a feisty CO2 spritz, predominantly flinty, rocky, mineralite, some hints of blood orange, cranberry, raspberry and rhubarb and a very fine background thread of space. Lacy-textured in its mineralite with no discernible tannin and sprightly acidity.
  Probably not a wine to take too seriously or consider laying down for too long but a refreshingly delicious glou-glou wine right now.

  Very pale red, with a secondary fermentation in bottle (?) type yeasty fizz, and a strong note of yesterday's half-dried bath towel. Very light bodied with a certain intensity - sour cherries, cranberries - maybe, just maybe, a hint of violet. It's very much of its type and has a certain charm - esp. served cool on a warm day, but I'm at best on the fence about this...Not a re-buy for me
