Jean Francois Ganevat Wines : Key Points

When Jean-François Ganevat returned from Burgundy to take over his family’s estate in Jura in 1998, he brought with him a Burgundian obsession with terroir. With the help of his sister Anne, he set about reorganizing his vineyards, drastically lowering yields, converting to biodynamic and eliminating the use of sulfur in the winemaking process. Today, the Ganevat vineyard spans 32 acres, planted with Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, as well as some Jura varieties you have heard of (Savagnin, Poulsard, Trousseau) and others even the most practiced wine connoisseurs have never tasted. The estate’s remarkable portfolio includes over 40 different wines, each with its own unique personality, grape variety and terroir expression. Some of these wines follow the rules and classified under the Cotes du Jura AOC appellation. Others break them and are declassified as “Vin de France.” However, they all have in common a vital life-force, a vivacious energy and purity which has earned them cult status. These are wines that transcend their appellation, elusive and idiosyncratic bottlings that have taken the wine world by a storm.
