The winemaker

The DNA of an outstanding winemaker


Jean-François Ganevat's story begins as a cellar master, for many years, in Chassagne-Montrachet with Jean-Marc Morey. In 1998, he decided to return to the Jura, in the combe de Rotalier, to cultivate his own vines.

Jean-François Ganevat has become a legend in the community of wine lovers. He is one of those winegrowers who treat their vines like their children. His audacity and talent have allowed him to revolutionize a part of French viticulture, as his wines are so characterful and emblematic of their domain.

The most Burgundian of the Jura, this winemaker now lets his rigor and talent express themselves on 9 hectares of vines, multiplying the parcel-based cuvées (up to fifty in some years), allowing him to reveal the subtleties of each micro-terroir.

Nearly half of the estate is made up of vines that are more than 50 years old, some reaching up to a century. The maturation at the estate is very long, three years minimum!

A natural estate


Since 1998, the agriculture led by Jean-François Ganevat is organic, and since 2006, the domain has gone biodynamic. As close as possible to nature, the winemaker makes wines that breathe the terroir and surprise with their typicity.

Vinified without sulfur and with indigenous yeasts, each wine has a parcel identity and a singular personality. Thanks to low yields, meticulous work in the vineyard, and maturation in earthenware jars for the reds, the wines reach an extraordinary level of expression.

On the red side, we find Pinot Noir (40%), Trousseau (25%)and Poulsard (30%). The wines produced are loaded with gas and offer typical terroir and natural noses.

For the white wines, we have a composition of 75% Chardonnay and 25% Savagnin. The wines elegantly combine the buttery and biting side with fruitiness and a touch of acidity, building aromatic wines with quality development.
