Vin Jaune 2014
You need 1200 benefit points to obtain this bottle.
Discover all the splendour of this yellow wine! We are far from the curry and the primary spice. The Cognac brandy is here in all its splendour, with an exquisite finesse and a sensation of saline rock... Blend of the 2009, 2010 and 2011 vintages.
Jean-François Ganevat returned in 1998 to his ancestral lands in the Côtes du Jura, where he is the 18th generation to cultivate the vines of the 8.5 hectare family estate.
Cultivation and vinification:
The estate is biodynamic. Yields are very low
The reds are not sulphited and the whites are only sulphited at bottling (1 to 2 grams maximum).
A particularity of Jean-François Ganevat's vinification is the Ouillage. Contrary to the Jura tradition of not topping up white wines during maturation to allow the veil to develop (obtaining oxidative wines), Jean-François tops up the majority of his white wines.

The Estate Jean-François Ganevat
Jean-François Ganevat, known as Fanfan, returned to his roots in 1998, to the Combe de Rotalier, after having been cellar master at the Domaine Morey in Chassagne Montrachet. Each year he makes around forty cuvées from parcel selections of 25 different grape varieties on 9 hectares of clay, schist and marl, with very old vines, 80 years old for the yellow one and a hundred years old for others.
He began by applying an organic practice which led him to a biodynamic culture in 2006 in order to achieve his objective of making wines as natural as possible, without sulphur, vinified with indigenous yeasts.
Concentrated, racy, of great purity, long, broad, salivating, there is no shortage of adjectives to describe the wines of Jean-François Ganevat, which regularly reach the top in whites for the Chardonnay and Savagnin varieties, whether or not they are oaked, such as Grandes Teppes, Chalasses Marnes Bleues or in reds with his famous Trousseau.
As proof, the cuvée "les chalasses vieilles vignes de 1902" vintage 2011 was elected wine of the year in 2014 by the very respected guide Bettane et Desseauve, no less!
