Undisputed icon of the Jura, Jean-François Ganevat has made a reputation for himself as one of the region's top producers. Having learnt the ropes with Jean-Marc Morey in Chassagne-Montrachet, he decided to create his own domain, which he farms organically and biodynamically. Reflecting Burgundian savoir-faire, he produces single-parcel micro cuvées. In the winery, his prefers a hands off approach, allowing the wine to express itself. Domain Anne et Jean-François Ganevat is the name of the négociant business set up by Jean-François and his wife. Quality is top priority, and the couple strive to produce wines in exactly the same way as at their own domain.

Halte S is made from vines planted by the late Dominique Belluard in Savoie. This wine is a tribute to him, showcasing his heritage and expertise. This cuvée is produced from 100% Altesse grapes grown on soil consisting of clay-limestone strata, giving the wine a unique and rich expression of the terroir. The manual plot by plot harvests are followed by meticulous vinification. The juices are fermented with native yeasts, then matured for two years in 600 litre demi-muids without any inputs. The wine is bottled without fining, filtration or added sulphur, to preserve its natural purity.
This cuvée reveals a seductive bouquet of herbal tea, white fruit and fresh spices, along with aromas of pineapple, lemon, almond and honey. On the palate, Halte S offers a very sapid, lengthy texture, emphasising its finesse and elegance.
