Frequently Asked Questions

Jean François Ganevat, affectionately nicknamed "Fanfan" by those close to him, is a Jura winemaker established at the Combe de Rotalier since 1998. Before taking over the family estate, he forged his experience as a cellar master in Burgundy, notably at Jean-Marc Morey in Chassagne-Montrachet. Returning to his native Jura, he gradually built a worldwide reputation through a radically artisanal approach: strict single-plot selections, rare grape varieties, biodynamics and winemaking without additives. In 2018, the Revue des Vins de France named him winemaker of the year, definitively cementing his status as an icon of natural wine.

Yes, the Domaine Jean François Ganevat is entirely converted to biodynamics, Demeter certified since 2006. In practice, this means a complete absence of synthetic products, light ploughing carried out by horse, constant manual care and the application of biodynamic preparations in the vineyards, including horsetail, nettle, dandelion and silica infusions. The harvest is done by hand, and the winemaking follows the same principles: indigenous yeasts, no added sulphur for the vast majority of the cuvées, and ageing in old barrels. A coherent approach from the soil to the bottle.

The wines from the Jean François Ganevat estate shine particularly in certain vintages that have brought out the best in the Jura terroirs: 2020, 2018, 2016, 2011, 2010 and 2005 are regularly cited among the great years to seek out. The 2011 vintage has entered into legend: the Chalasses Vieilles Vignes de 1902 cuvée was named wine of the year 2014 by the Bettane & Desseauve guide. The whites from chardonnay and savagnin have a remarkable ageing capacity, while the reds based on trousseau are appreciated in their relative youth for their freshness and finesse.

Domaine Jean François Ganevat is distinguished by an exceptional diversity of grape varieties. Jean-François works with the great Jurassian varieties such as savagnin, chardonnay, poulsard (or ploussard), and trousseau, to which pinot noir is added. But what makes the domaine truly unique is the cultivation of ancient and forgotten varieties of the Jura, such as enfariné noir, petit bécland, and scévillard. With no fewer than 25 different grape varieties across 13 hectares, Ganevat is one of the rare winemakers in the world to preserve such a living ampelographic heritage.

The Jean François Ganevat estate produces between 35 and 50 different cuvées depending on the vintage, making it one of the most prolific estates in terms of the diversity of single-plot selections in the Jura. Each cuvée corresponds to a specific plot, in keeping with the winemaker's philosophy: one soil, one grape variety, one cuvée. Among the most iconic are the Grandes Teppes Vieilles Vignes, the Chalasses Marnes Bleues in white, and the Vignes de Mon Père. Jean François Ganevat also produces négociant wines with his sister Anne, under the label Anne et Jean-François Ganevat, bringing total production to around 40,000 bottles per year.

The wines from Domaine Jean François Ganevat are available on specialist online wine retail websites. Given the low yields and the worldwide reputation of the domaine, the bottles are rare and sell out very quickly as soon as they go on sale. The négociant cuvées Anne et Jean-François Ganevat, often more accessible in volume, represent a wonderful entry point for discovering the world of the domaine before venturing towards the most exclusive single-vineyard selections.
