- ALLANTE & BOULANGER - Almagamé 2018 - Gamay - Jura RAR The cuvée Almagamé comes from the plot Vigne Au Daim in Gizia – Christian and Mathieu took over the parcel from a local elder in 2011 and co-planted many different varieties. "Virtually extinct Jura vine" is how Jancis, Julia and José describe the petit béclan in their book of reference Wine Grapes. Planted with some gamay, pinot, trousseau, and poulsard on a steep slope, its small bunches and thick skin bring rusticity to this unique Jura blend. Totally destemmed and co-fermented, aged in 300ltr barriques for 12 months, it has a dense and grippy structure with ripe black fruit and moreish acids. - Jean-Francois Ganevat - LA CROIX DES BATAILLES 2022 - Gamay - Jura La Croix des Batailles is a phenomenal natural wine – The name translates to “the cross of the battle”, we don’t know the reason behind this name but we think it must be about fighting over the last glass (if you are kind enough to share it, that is!). More seriously though, a wine after our own heart; generous and wide palate extended by measured acidity with a touch of spice/complexity on the finish. Genvat Negocé prime example – Pinot Noir from both Jura and Alsace in semi carbonic maceration, raised in old foudres for 1 year.If you see this available and dont know about the Ganevats or Jura, dont hesitate. The availability is very scarce for these critically acclaimed wines.
