2019 | Jean-François Ganevat | Victor de la Combe

Elegant yellow color with golden reflections. A taut, clean Chardonnay with notes of candied lemon, honey, mango, and spices. On palate: great purity, mineral and rich, with lovely freshness.

Producer Information

Jean-François Ganevat is a well-regarded, minimal interventionist wine producer based in the commune of Rotalier (more precisely in the hamlet of La Combe de Rotalier), in the mountainous Jura wine region of eastern France. The domaine has been family-owned since 1650 and is currently run by Jean-François Ganevat, who previously trained and worked at Domaine Jean-Marc Morey in Chassagne-Montrachet. Ganevat produces 1700 cases a year, made up of 35-40 different cuvées that aim to highlight terroir, grape variety, or winemaking style. The 8.5-hectare (21-acre) estate is certified biodynamic and planted to 17 different local red and white varieties, including outlawed varieties such as Petit Béclan, Gros Béclan, Gueuche, Seyve-Villard, Corbeau, Portugais Bleu, Enfariné, Argant, and Poulsard Blanc. While the domaine produces single varietal Côtes du Jura AOP wines from estate-grown fruit, it also sources wine grapes from Alsace, Savoie, and Beaujolais to make appellation Vin de France cuvées. These cuvées, blended with purchased and estate-grown grapes, allow the winemaker the ability to use all indigenous varieties and craft unique, albeit declassified, wines. Jean-François uses old and individualized winemaking techniques. He de-stems by hand, uses no new oak, ages white wines on the lees for a minimum of two years and, in 2006, completely eradicated the use of sulfur.
