The wine

The true favourite of the iDealwine team, Les Cèdres comes from eighty-year-old Chardonnay grown on a marly terroir. Vinified naturally in demi-muids, on its lees for two and a half years, the wine has been bottled without sulphur and there is no filtration nor fining. It has a pale golden hue and exudes a complex aromatic bouquet. Notes of grilled hazelnut, flint stone, butter, citrus fruit and while fruit herald a palate which is both well-rounded and fresh. Balanced by wonderful acidity and delicate notes of citrus fruit, it pairs beautifully with iodised dishes for example.

Information about domain 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 domain in 1998. His 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 domain 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 ; Gavenat has recently got involved in negociant activity. This domain 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.
