Ganevat is on a level in Jura that is his alone. The intensity is like the balance, perfect. The grape, the soil, the vintage, the elevage, the techniques, are an inspiration to me.

Needs a little time to sing. I wasn't really digging the wine when it was first opened. Felt too ripe and rich, especially when compared with the Overnoy. But with air, the Grusse really started showing itself.

Stunning texture and density. Still shows its richness, especially on the mid-palate, but balanced by piercing acidity and lengthy chalkiness. Really toasty and nutty, baked apples, lemon zest, kinda creamy, saline, oyster shell. It's really quite beautiful. Pity there wasn't any left for day 2.
