Luis Gutierrez writes in Wine Advocate: “I believe I first drunk a bottle of Ganevat at the cult wine bar/restaurant Le Baratin, in Paris years ago, and then had the luck to find some of his 2004, 2005 and 2006s in a shop in Madrid. He has now become a star and his wines are highly allocated and sought after by fans all over the world. Jean-François Ganevat is the modern star of the Jura. Demand for his wines outgrows supply and his costs are high, but on the other hand, he doesn’t want to put the prices up, so the solution is to increase volumes. With the vineyards he has, the way is to purchase grapes and to start a new négociant line of wines.”

2002 marks the third vintage of Vignes de Mon Père that we’ve worked with. It’s a really impressive edition of the wine. 2002 is great vintage in the JuraThe concentration, balance and elegance of the 02 vintage feel very much amplified.

Ganevat sources his Vignes de Mon Père from his Chalasses vineyard. It’s a blue marl site, which is thought to be the best soil for Savagnin. The vines were planted in 1930. This is a wine that’s easy to go on and on about, but I’ll cut it short. Ganevat’s fame and the small quantities available make it a smart move.
