The Anne and Jean-François Ganevat Crémant du Jura is a distinctive, zero-dosage sparkling wine made entirely from Chardonnay. Produced by the traditional method and matured for approximately three years in bottle, it combines depth and complexity with the precision expected from Ganevat. The expressive bouquet offers ripe apple, preserved lemon and citrus zest, accompanied by hazelnut, almond, brioche and a subtle struck-flint minerality.
On the palate, the mousse is fine yet concentrated, carrying a broad, vinous texture balanced by lively acidity. Ripe citrus and orchard fruit mingle with toasted nuts and gentle lees-derived savouriness, leading into a long, dry and mineral finish. This is a serious, gastronomic Crémant designed as much for the dining table as for an aperitif.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for those seeking a characterful, bone-dry alternative to grower Champagne. Serve at approximately 10°C; decanting can be considered to soften the mousse and reveal greater complexity. Enjoy now or cellar through approximately 2030. Ideal with sashimi, oysters, trout with almonds, frog legs, shellfish pasta, fried chicken or aged Comté.
