Item # 28752 750mL

This Pinot Noir from a prestigious producer won't disappoint fans of the Jura. This wine combines richness of fruit, minerality, and clear varietal identity. Enjoy it with roasted chicken with mushrooms or with stinky cheeses. This particular parcel was planted by Ganevat at a high altitude on schist soils. The very low-yield grapes are de-stemmed by hand (a very tedious process) and macerate for a long time on their skins. The wine is well-structured with fine tannins.

Terroir, the concept that wines from a specific region have unique and identifiable traits, is intricately...

Jura

A petite and relatively obscure wine region in eastern France, between Burgundy and the Swiss border. Its geographical isolation has helped it to remain a rare bastion of traditional winemaking techniques, and today it produces some of the most distinctive wines in the world. Reds from the Jura are often light-bodied, earthy, berried, and reminiscent of the village wines of Burgundy (though here they are made of local grapes like Poulsard and Trousseau). The true specialty of the region,...
