Jean François Ganevat

'Les Grands Teppes' Pinot Noir 2023

Jean-François Ganevat represents the 14th generation of vignerons of his family in Rotalier, in the south of Jura. After years working as the cellar master of Jean-Marc Morey in Chassagne-Montrachet, he took over his family’s estate in 1998. Ganevat converted the estate to organic viticulture the same year, and then to biodynamics in 2006.

A 100% Pinot Noir cuvée, from massal selection old vines, grown biodynamically and planted in 1976 in Vercia lieu-dit on a terroir composed of red marls and scree. Manual harvest. Vinification: indigenous yeasts, soft maceration, this is an infusion more than a forced extraction, one year of aging in a truncated wooden vat that have seen several wines. Bottled at the Estate without fining or filtration, zero added sulfites.
