  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…

  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.

  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 👌

  Young and primary, a clear yeasty/sponti type signature, beautiful fruit, flowers and herbs as well. Textured and fresh, crunchy fruit and zippy acids. Lovely wine, but probably needs 5+ years to really show its powers.
