Les Chonchons 2024

Les Chonchons 2024

Les Chonchons originates in the Jura, where old Pinot Noir vines take root in marls dating from the Lias and Triassic periods. Anne and Jean-François Ganevat seek a precise expression in which fruit, texture and nuances of place gradually reveal themselves.

Low-temperature semi-carbonic maceration allows for gentle extraction, followed by ageing in wood that gives the wine time to settle. Cherry and raspberry emerge first, joined by hints of rose, spice and forest floor. With air, the wine gains definition, revealing a depth only partly apparent on the first nose.

On the palate, the wine unfolds with suppleness and poise. Fine tannins form a silky framework, while freshness gives the fruit definition and momentum. The finish extends the spicy nuances with a lingering saline impression.

A Pinot Noir of texture and detail, whose finesse emerges as the wine evolves in the glass.
