Vin de France Le Zaune à Dédée Jean-François Ganevat (Domaine)
The wine
Le Zaune à Dédée is produced from a blend of Savagnin and Gewürztraminer. The grapes are macerated (this is a so-called vin orange), then matured sous voile (under a yeast film). On the nose, this cuvée expresses aromas of rose along with oxidised, spicy notes, and the palate has fullness, great intensity, softness and – at the same time – a fresh structure with scents of bitter orange and a slight tannic impression at the finish.
