Collection: Jean-François Ganevat Jura Wine
Jean-François Ganevat is one of the best-loved names in Jura wine, and an allocation always a good day at the shop. His biodynamic, low-intervention bottles are chased by sommeliers and collectors alike, and with demand far outstripping supply, they rarely stay on the shelf for long.
He's the 14th generation of his family to farm in La Combe Rotalier, in the far south of the Jura. After learning the vines alongside his father, he trained in Beaune and ran the cellar at Domaine Jean-Marc Morey in Chassagne-Montrachet, then came home in 1998 to take on the family domaine with his sister Anne. The vineyards are worked by hand, sulphur is used only when needed, and his precise, single-parcel approach has made him one of the most influential figures in natural wine.
A run of challenging harvests has left yields painfully low, so Jean-François and Anne also make a négociant range, labelled Anne et Jean-François Ganevat, using bought-in fruit from Jura and Beaujolais to put more bottles into circulation. It's a relaxed way in if you're new to Ganevat.
