From the limestone soils of the Jura, La Croix des Batailles from Domaine Ganevat is a vibrant and expressive Gamay, combining freshness with depth and finesse. Notes of red cherry, raspberry and wild strawberry are lifted by hints of spice and earth, leading into a light to medium bodied palate with silky tannins, bright acidity and a long, lively finish. Juicy yet refined, it pairs beautifully with charcuterie, roast poultry, pork dishes or can be enjoyed lightly chilled.
