Les Vignes de mon Père
Les vignes de mon père is a cuvée of green Savagnin aged for a very long time (10 years in barrels!).This very special cuvée comes from the blue marl terroir of Les Chalasses, but is only made with green savagnin, a strain of savagnin characterised by a later character and a consistently high acidity.
The wine was therefore bottled after ten years of maturing without any intervention other than regular topping up.The transition from a double-barrel to a 75 cl bottle after ten years of rest did not go smoothly and the wine now seems a bit locked, as if "tight" in its new container, with quite marked aromas of reduction and lees.It will now need two or three years in bottle to regain the incredible depth that characterises this cuvee. Les vignes de mon père is a great wine and will remain so for a long, long time, so young and robust does it seem today. Note that this wine is produced without any additives.

Practical information
And to finish More Information
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!
