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.

Anne and Jean-François Ganevat run an unmistakably legendary property in Jura, which is renowned for its organic and biodynamic growing methods and low-intervention vinification. Many wine lovers are also attracted to this estate due to its incredible catalogue. This Vin Jaune (yellow wine) from Arbois is made from the region’s leading grape variety, Savagnin. Grown with care, the vines draw all the necessary nutrients needed for their development from deep within the red marl soil. Yields are low but concentrated, and the grapes are hand-harvested to be meticulously sorted for vinification sees no intervention take place. Typically, indigenous yeasts are left to trigger the fermentation process, and extractions are very limited as there is no pumping over or punching down. Sulphur is excluded from the process also.
This wine has an intense, straw-like yellow colour with golden glints. It is ample on the palate, with a thick meniscus and rich aroma. Flavours of dried fruits, sweet spices, citrus fruit zest and stewed apples lead to a rich, full-bodied and persistent palate with great acidity; the wine's vertical pillar and the proof of its ageing potential.
