Jean Francois Ganevat Cremant du Jura NV

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.
