Anne and Jean-François GANEVAT - Vin Jaune 2012
Domaine Jean-François Ganevat is located in La Combe de Rotalier in Jura , France. The estate has been family owned since 1650 and is currently managed by Jean-François Ganevat , who trained and worked until 1998 at Domaine Jean-Marc Morey in Chassagne-Montrachet, before returning to his family estate. Ganevat's production is small, but made up of around forty different vintages aimed at highlighting the terroir, the grape variety or the style of winemaking. The 13-hectare estate has been certified biodynamic since 2014. Jean-François Ganevat uses ancient and individualized winemaking techniques: destemming is done by hand, no new oak is used, the white wines are aged on lees for a minimum of two years and, since 2006, it has completely eradicated the use of sulfur.
The estate also sources grapes from Alsace, Savoie and Beaujolais for the production of vintages in the Vin de France appellation. These vintages, blended with purchased grapes and those from the estate, allow Jean-François Ganevat and his wife Anne to use all the varieties of indigenous grape varieties and to produce unique, declassified wines.
This Vin Jaune 2012 comes from Savagnin, grown on iridescent marl soil. It was raised for more than 10 years , without topping , protected by its veil and its native yeasts.
Grape variety: 100% Savagnin
