Description

This is a second, later release, of Éponyme (the first one was the wine bottled by Ganevat, which was released late in 2021, and which we drank in France in August 2022). It comes from the same yellow and white marl vines as Perles de Mont Blanc as well as from the limestone scree of Vers Etraz. It was aged for 18 months on fine lees in oval concrete tanks prior to bottling, several months longer than the first release of the wine with the same name, and the effect of the limestone is more pronounced. Bottled by Vincent Ruiz, it has the same enigmatic label and name as the first release but the back label identifies its difference. Unlike the first release of Éponyme, the bottle is topped with white wax. It is lively with fresh acidity and drinking well now.
