Côtes du Jura Les Chamois du Paradis Jean-François Ganevat (Domaine) 2015

The wine

The cuvée Chamois du Paradis is the domain’s latest creation, a distinguished wine which offers up wonderful complexity. The nose unfurls a lovely aromatic palette, with notes of white fruit (apple, pear) and yellow fruit (Mirabelle plum, peach), aromas of flowers and spicy notes. The palate is supple, well-rounded, creamy, fresh and with wonderful length.
