About the Producer

Jean-François Ganevat is a renowned minimal interventionist wine producer based in Rotalier, in the Jura region of eastern France. The family-owned domaine, established in 1650, is currently run by Ganevat, who previously trained at Domaine Jean-Marc Morey in Chassagne-Montrachet. The estate spans 8.5 hectares (21 acres) and produces approximately 1,700 cases annually, featuring 35-40 different cuvées that highlight terroir and grape variety. Ganevat's vineyards are certified biodynamic and include 17 local grape varieties, some of which are rare or outlawed. He employs traditional winemaking techniques, such as hand de-stemming, aging white wines on the lees for a minimum of two years, and completely avoiding sulfur since 2006. His diverse portfolio includes Vin Jaune, Macvin du Jura, and Crémant du Jura, showcasing his commitment to quality and innovation in natural winemaking.
