Community Tasting Note

Saturday, October 21, 2023 - Ganevat Mon Pere Vertical (Chambers): Similar to the 08, very oxidative, rich, and powerful. Dried fruits, salted almonds, seaweed, a hint of iodine. Bracing acidity and an eternal finish. Very sherry like. It reminded me a lot some fino amontillados. Lots of comparisons to the first 08/07 flight where one was very oxodative and the other much fresher.

ABV: 13.5%
Closure: natural cork
Stem: Korin white stem
Extra info: from vines of Savagnin Vert planted in 1930, on the blue marl of the Chalasses site. Aged for 130 months a la ouille in old demi-muid and barrels after a press à l'ancienne and no racking of the must. A small amount of sulphur is added only at bottling
Extra info: 130 months in demi-muid and barrels a la ouille with no added SO2.
Vintage info from JF Ganevat: Beautiful vintage; sunny but not too warm. Grapes of beautiful quality and great yields (37-38 hl/ha).
