Over the past decade, the world has embraced the unique wines of the Jura in France's remote east. This surge in interest has firmly established the Jura's top growers as iconic figures in the wine industry, showcasing the region's ancient traditions, distinctive character, and exceptional quality.
Among these producers, Jean-François Ganevat stands out as the most rapidly rising star in the Jura. His wines, characterised by remarkable diversity and originality, draw compelling comparisons to legendary names such as Coche, Jayer, and Dagueneau. Ganevat consistently produces wines that not only define but also elevate their appellations.
His achievements are nothing short of extraordinary. With over forty cuvées, each unique yet consistently excellent, Ganevat proves that his commitment to quality knows no bounds. He goes to exceptional lengths in his winemaking processes, ensuring that every bottle reflects his dedication.
For instance, he meticulously destems individual grapes by hand with scissors, guaranteeing that each berry remains intact. He manages forty distinct plots across just 8.5 hectares, vinifying each one separately to honour the individuality of each terroir fully.
To amplify the expression of his sites, Ganevat has planted 45 different ancient indigenous varieties alongside the approved appellation grapes. He employs a dedicated team of eight, including himself, ensuring that he has one person per hectare to execute his labour-intensive biodynamic farming practices perfectly. This meticulous attention to detail showcases his unwavering commitment to excellence in every aspect of his work.

We've received new cuvées from both his Domaine bottlings (Domaine Jean-François Ganevat) and his Negociant bottlings (Anne et Jean-François Ganevat).
