Jean François Ganevat

Ganevat : The star of the Jura 

Jean-François Ganevat, who lives in Rotalier in the hamlet of La Combe, is one of those cult names that have become a household word in the Jura, and rightly so. Ganevat has been mastering blends and micro terroir cuvées since 1998, after a long spell as cellar master at Jean-Marc Morey's Chassagne-Montrachet estate in Burgundy's Côte de Beaune region. With 12 hectares of white and red Côtes du Jura, Domaine Ganevat produces very low yields, with each terroir expressing its own specific characteristics. These include the schist soils of 'Billat', the blue marl of 'Chalasses' and the clay of 'Les Grandes Teppes'.

His encounters and experiences, in particular with Philippe Pacalet (Burgundy), Didier Barral (Faugères) and the Gérard Schueller estate (Alsace), led him towards organic and then biodynamic viticulture, in which he excels. In 2006, his know-how and philosophy led him to produce wine with no added sulphur, 100% natural wine. His uninhibited quest for excellence and his attention to detail have earned him the nickname of "the alchemist of grape varieties", or fanfan to his friends.

Jean-François Ganevat also produces red wines in amphorae, in addition to his vin jaune and the iconic Les Vignes de mon Père, aged for ten years. His boldness and expertise have made him a pillar of the Jura region, and he has been part of the Jura revival. Together with his sister Anne, Jean-François has ushered in a new era for Jura wines: that of terroir wines, particularly with his ouillés (non-oxidative) Chardonnays and Savagnins. His experience in Burgundy has given him extraordinary legitimacy and expertise in the use of casks and barrels. His curiosity has led him to develop a number of cuvées to express the Jura terroir in the same way as Burgundy's climats and his dreams, because what he's trying to express are "Wines based on fruit, thirsty wines, peasant wines. It's never mathematical, it depends on the vintage".

In some years, there are as many as 50 Domaine Ganevat cuvées, including the famous Florine (the eponymous cuvée of Ganevat's daughter), Oregane (Savagnin and Melon à queue rouge), Marguerite and Julien, as well as the cult and equally rare Les Vignes de mon Père, which set new records for excellence in 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007, even achieving a score of 100/100 by Robert Parker for 2005!

Jean-François Ganevat pays particular attention, producing whites of unrivalled purity and an intensity that leaves wine-lovers breathless. He is extremely attentive, both in the vineyard and in the cellar, to ensure that he intervenes as little as possible and makes wines that resemble him, based on oxido-reductive principles. J'en veux encore, De toute beauté and Le Jaja du Ben are among the reds that leave no one indifferent,

Other Jura estates include Domaine du Pélican, Bénédicte et Stéphane Tissot, Frédéric Lornet and Jean Bourdy.
