Ganevat Poulsard Chalasses Vieilles Vignes

Jura, France

Jean-François Ganevat's benchmark Poulsard from ancient vines on Lias limestone — translucent salmon-pink, impossibly delicate, with wild strawberry, dried rose petal, mineral freshness, and an almost Burgundian haunting quality. Poulsard is unique to the Jura; Ganevat's version is its finest expression.

• main: The Jura's signature spring dish and its most delicate red — Poulsard's transparency and mineral freshness lifts the morels' earthiness without dominating; crème fraîche bridges
