Located in Rotalier in the Jura, Domaine Ganevat is a must-visit for natural wine enthusiasts. Jean-François Ganevat, affectionately known as “Fanfan,” represents the 14th generation of winemakers in his family. After gaining experience in Burgundy at Jean-Marc Morey in Chassagne-Montrachet, he took over the family estate in 1998, converting it to organic farming, and later to biodynamics in 2006. His meticulous, terroir-driven approach produces pure Jura whites and reds, crafted without added sulfites or filtration. ---

Anne & Jean-François Ganevat: Masters of Jura Natural Wine

Anne and Jean-François Ganevat are internationally recognized for crafting Jura wines of exceptional purity and depth. Their vineyards, planted on clay-limestone and blue marl soils, are carefully tended to enhance terroir expression. Aging in oak barrels gives Ganevat wines remarkable texture, volume, and aromatic complexity.

The estate produces a wide variety of Jura wines, including over 50 cuvées, from biodynamic Chardonnay to natural Pinot Noir, Savagnin, Poulsard, and Trousseau. Every bottle from Domaine Ganevat reflects the richness, intensity, and unique “Ganevat touch”, making it a benchmark for Jura natural wine enthusiasts worldwide.

Biodynamic Philosophy at Domaine Ganevat

At the heart of the Domaine Ganevat approach is biodynamic viticulture and manual harvesting. Fermentations occur with native yeasts, without added sulfites, and aging often lasts several years on fine lees. This natural, terroir-focused method produces living, expressive wines that reveal the character of Jura soils.

Key vineyard practices at Domaine Ganevat include:

• Parcel selection to highlight terroir
• Biodynamic farming for healthy, expressive vines
• Hand harvesting for precise fruit selection
• Long aging on fine lees to develop depth and complexity

Iconic Ganevat Wines at Cave Pur Jus

La Gravière

From old Chardonnay vines on grey Lias marl and iridescent marls, La Gravière is a dry white sometimes aged over three years in large foudre barrels on fine lees. Non-fined, non-filtered, with no added sulfites, it reveals aromas of fresh butter, candied citrus, and white flowers, with a structured palate and mineral tension.

Sur la Côte

A Pinot Noir from 40-year-old biodynamic vines on grey marl in Arbois, vinified naturally in whole clusters with spontaneous fermentation, aged one year in oak barrels. It offers notes of raspberry, cranberry, and hibiscus, with a delicate, refined palate and fine tannins.

Macvin du Jura

The traditional Macvin du Jura is made with 1/3 aged Jura marc and 2/3 grape juice from Chardonnay and Savagnin, added at the start of fermentation. Aged eight years, it delivers candied fruit aromas and rich, layered flavors, an essential Jura digestif.

Vin Jaune

Domaine Ganevat’s signature Vin Jaune, made from Savagnin, is aged under a veil for eight years in oak barrels. Highly complex, it reveals walnut, curry, and dried fruit notes, with precise aromatic definition. Bottled in the traditional 62cl format, it embodies the Jura’s unique winemaking tradition.
