TN: '01 Overnoy Savagnin

[Bryan Garcia]

Showing some progress in its color. Cheese, cream, butter, nuts on the nose. Round palate with less acidity than I anticipated but really pleasant preserved lemon and fresh citrus notes. Finish is long.

I wasn't sure what to expect. What has been your experience?

i'm not giving up on overnoy.
Was the wax yellow or gold?

 

[Bryan Garcia]

Not sure. Looks yellow. Why?

 

[Guilhaume gerard]

trying to find out what bottling you drank. It's always tricky as they release cuvees at very different times. Some early, some late. Very different wines, but always the same label/wax (very few exceptions..)

 

[Bryan Garcia]

Hmm. Not sure. Label doesn't seem to provide any info on that either.

 

[Matteo Mollo]

what about the acquamarine colored wax?

I've given up on Overnoy since about the time I stopped finding them retail.
Hopefully Ganevant will pay dividends.

who's name is on the label? only pierre's and manu = early bottling, pierre manu aurelien adeline = late bottling.

I love Ganevat. Opened an '03 La Combe (Savagnin) last week that was beautiful. Not 100% but Aquamarine is on the chards.

if you mean green, it's a blend of chardonnay and savagnin.

Guilhaume - I'll post the label on twitter bc I'm on my phone.

I take back comment on acidity. Just came out and it's exciting.

 

[Matteo Mollo]

im kinda color blind, it's got a tinge of blue in with that green...but that's the one we got 'round here. shh.

I was just gifted a bottle with a black wax top. Sharon tells me that it is Manu's experiment with an orange style. Should be exciting.

Every time I say that, I am asked "which one?"

And I am still unable to answer that question to satisfaction

.Sasha - Here's the back label of the Ganevat I had. yfrog.com/h8z1ttlj

thanks!
that would be the ouille.
As to what that means - I've made an appointment with SFJoe to explain, he has an opening sometime in June.
But I suspect that's the one that spends a couple of centuries in topped up barrels.
