Jean-François Ganevat represents the 14th generation of vignerons of his family in Rotalier, in the south of Jura. After years working as the cellar master of Jean-Marc Morey in Chassagne-Montrachet, he took over his family’s estate in 1998. Ganevat converted the estate to organic viticulture the same year, and then to biodynamics in 2006. Jean-François practices single-parcel selection, that is to say, one soil type, one grape variety = one cuvée. As a result, the estate produces 45 different cuvées every year – and don’t worry, it’s all good, or rather... extraordinary. He is THE master of natural wine vinification, the benchmark for an entire generation of young vignerons. The estate is only 8.5 hectares and the yields are low. Fortunately, Jean François and his sister Anne also set up a wine trading company. They buy grapes cultivated by vigneron friends who respect their vision of wine. Beautiful grape varieties, vinified with foot treading, long carbonic maceration in truncated vats, indigenous yeasts and no sulphur added...
Organic or biodynamic wine
One of, if not the best Macvin ever produced in the Jura. A dessert unto itself, with notes of candied fruit.
Sulphites-free wine
A powerful, complex nose: citrus, mineral, saline, chalky, and buttery. Palate: wow, wow, and wow… substance and volume in spades, but moreover great elegance, a deep, vibrant, fine wine, with lovely length to balance the rich roundness of the Chardonnay.
Sulphites-free wine
A clear juice with notes of cherry and rose... Palate: some gas may be present, give the bottle a shake if it bothers you. This is smooth juice, all freshness and fruit, a highly enjoyable wine with great finesse. Goes down very easily.
Sulphites-free wine
A nose with notes of minerals, flint, grapefruit and quince... Palate: an intense, mineralesque wine with huge volume and a long, salty, dynamic finish.
Sulphites-free wine
A Chard with huge tension, extremely pure and precise. A palate that’s powerful and balanced, with very exotic flavours – pineapple, mango... This represents another approach to Chardonnay by Fanfan, and an original, truly interesting one indeed.
Sulphites-free wine
An ultra complex nose, with notes of candied lemon, honey, pineapple, mango... Palate: a wine of great purity, this is a mineralesque juice, with enormous volume, a lot of freshness, iodised notes and a lingering finish.
Sulphites-free wine
A complex nose with notes of candied lemon, honey, quince, and flowers... Palate: a fresh, mineral wine of great purity, with huge volume, backbone, and a salty finish.
Sulphites-free wine
A very lovely expression of this grape variety, in the pure Ganevat style, with notes of red fruit, forest floor, rose and minerals... Palate: this is fine wine, all freshness and fruit, extremely enjoyable and eminently luscious.
Sulphites-free wine
A ruby juice with multiple notes of red fruits and minerals.... Palate: this is fine wine, all freshness and fruit, extremely enjoyable and eminently luscious. Probably Fanfan’s most complex red cuvée! Decanting recommended.
Sulphites-free wine
Notes of strawberry, pomegranate and a hint of spice. Palate: a finely acidic juice, very fresh and fluid, with the floral structure of the nose, and a lovely aromatic length.
