Description

Jean-François Ganevat has a knack for coaxing extraordinary character out of Savagnin, and Antide is one of his most striking examples. Made from old vines grown on Jura’s limestone and marl soils, the wine is aged sous voile for a few years, picking up that oxidative complexity the region is famous for, but with Ganevat’s trademark finesse and freshness.

The 2020 shows layers of citrus peel, dried herbs, almonds and spice, with a salty, mineral drive running through it. It’s savoury and complex but never heavy, with energy that keeps it lively from start to finish. As with all his wines, the detail is remarkable, the balance spot on, and the personality unmistakable.

Savagnin in this style is built for food, and Antide really sings with Comté, roast poultry, or mushroom dishes. It’s already impressive now, but like the best of Jura, it will happily age and evolve in the cellar for many years.

The 2020 Savagnin Antide, a cuvée named after Ganevat's son, reveals itself as the best Savagnin from 2020. It's stunning and a big jump from the quality of the négoce wines. This was made with estate grapes from vines in Grands Teppes and in the village of Grusse and produced in the ouillé, topped-up style without the development of flor. It displays a very bright, almost fluorescent yellow color, a complex and flinty nose, faintly reductive, with stony and mineral sensations, and a tasty, long and salty finish. It comes in at 13% alcohol. It was bottled unfined and unfiltered on the 31st of October 2024. It's very Savagnin, salty, with fine reduction.
