This Pinot Noir from Alsace produced by Domaine Ganevat, La Colline des Dames, displays delicate notes combining fruity, floral and spicy nuances for a balanced, refreshing tasting experience.
More infoMade from Pinot Noir grapes, La Colline des Dames cuvée offers a unique sensory experience, thanks to its terroir and traditional winemaking methods.
The grape variety originates from vines planted in Alsace and grown using organic methods. Manual harvesting guarantees a high-quality yield, while natural winemaking respects the character of the grapes. Semi-carbonic maceration at low temperature (12/14°C) preserves the wine’s freshness, and is followed by ageing in foudres (large capacity wooden tuns) having contained several wines. The wine is bottled without fining, filtration or added sulphites.
On tasting, the translucent vermilion-red colour and orangey hues captivate the eye. The nose opens with notes of red plum, stone, violet and spices, with a hint of smoke. The palate is round and full, revealing aromas of ripe cherry and spices. A delicate acidity provides liveliness while the long finish ends on notes of cherry and peony.

About the Producer Ganevat (domaine)
Former head winemaker of Jean-Marc Morey in Chassagne-Montrachet, Jean-François Gavenat has become one of the most talented winemakers in the Jura since he took over his family estate in 1998. Located in Rotalier in the hamlet of La Combe, the vineyard spans 13 hectares and includes many different grape varieties. Gavenat has a natural and biodynamic approach (without certification) and produces some single vineyard wines (the estate boasts 50 different cuvées). The vines are relatively old and meticulously cared for. The yields are low and the vinifcations gentle. Some of the reds are matured in amphorae are of a very high quality.
The property’s grande cuvée is Les Vignes de mon Père, a Savagnin aged for ten years.
Jean-François Gavenat has also set up a small négociant business with his wife under the name ‘Anne et Jean-François Ganevat’, which allows him to produce and offer even more wines to the world. This estate has played an important part in increasing the popularity of wines from the Jura. Production is small and the wines are prized by wine lovers all over.
