Description

A 100% Chardonnay from Domaine Jean-François Ganevat, "Les Survivants" is a Côtes du Jura blend of the estate's various Chardonnay parcels, born of years when frost or poor yields forced Fanfan to combine several plots into one cuvée. Vinified without added sulphur and aged around three to four years on lees in demi-muids, it shows a nose of white flowers, fresh citrus and flinty stone, with the concentration and precision typical of the domaine's whites. The palate is direct and energetic, dry and low in dosage of fruit sweetness, with bright acidity, good salinity and a persistent, saline finish. It suits crustaceans, risotto or the local Comté beautifully, and given its serious, ageworthy character, a decant or an hour in the glass will only help it open out.

Jean Francois Ganevat

Jean-François Ganevat is a celebrated winemaker from the Jura region of France, renowned for his meticulous approach to natural winemaking and his ability to produce wines of extraordinary complexity and character. Coming from a family of vignerons with a winemaking tradition dating back to the 17th century, Jean-François took over the family estate in 1998 after working for a decade in Burgundy, bringing with him a deep respect for traditional methods and a commitment to innovation.
The Ganevat estate, located in the small village of La Combe, near Rotalier, spans around 13 hectares of vineyards, where Jean-François cultivates a diverse range of grape varieties, including the Jura classics Savagnin, Chardonnay, Poulsard, and Trousseau, as well as a collection of rare, old indigenous varieties. The vineyards are farmed biodynamically, a practice Ganevat has adhered to since 2006, ensuring the utmost respect for the environment and the natural rhythms of the vineyard.
