Cuvée de l'Enfant Terrible
The usual pink colour for this variety reveals a nose of small red fruits such as wild strawberries and spices. Great freshness and sapidity on the palate, a very fine wine with great energy.
Jean-François Ganevat, the star of the Combe de Rotalier, is back in 2016 with this 100% Poulsard cuvée L'Enfant Terrible. Made from a subsoil of white and grey marl, the vines are cultivated biodynamically
Natural vinification with indigenous yeasts, no fining or filtering.
Jean-François Ganevat returned in 1998 to his ancestral land in the Côtes du Jura, where he is the 18th generation to cultivate the vines of the family's 8.5 hectare estate.He produces wines like we like, the kind of wines that would make much more prestigious and expensive appellations pale with embarrassment!

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!
