Anne and Jean-François GANEVAT - Poulprix Rouge 2024
The Jean-François Ganevat Estate is located in La Combe de Rotalier in the Jura, France. The estate has been a family property since 1650 and is currently managed by Jean-François Ganevat, who trained and worked until 1998 at the Domaine Jean-Marc Morey in Chassagne-Montrachet before returning to his family estate. Ganevat's production is small but consists of about forty different cuvées aimed at highlighting the terroir, grape variety, or winemaking style. The 13-hectare estate has been certified biodynamic since 2014. Jean-François Ganevat uses ancient and individualized winemaking techniques: destemming is done by hand, no new oak is used, white wines are aged on lees for a minimum of two years, and since 2006, he has completely eradicated the use of sulfur.
The estate also sources grapes from Alsace, Savoie, and Beaujolais for the production of cuvées under the Vin de France appellation. These cuvées, blended with purchased grapes and those from the estate, allow Jean-François Ganevat and his wife Anne to use all indigenous grape varieties and produce unique, declassified wines.
Poulprix comes from a selection of several grape varieties naturally fermented with indigenous yeasts. It is unfiltered and no sulfur is added during bottling.
