Tasting notes
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.

The 2020 Côtes du Jura Savagnin Antide aged for 4 years under topped-up conditions. Opening with marked reduction, it needs time to open up. After a few moments of aeration, the 2020 unwinds with perfumed baked apple, dried chamomile, straw and a suggestion of oyster shell. Medium- to full-bodied and energetic, the 2020 is built around vibrant Savagnin acidity and packs a beguiling austerity on the mid-palate. It finally winds down with impressive length on the refined finish. Lock this away for two more years—if you can resist the temptation.
