Jean-Francois Ganevat Plein Sud Trousseau 2022
Regular price $255
Magic here. Satiny, light on, dark berries and yet so fine, fresh and tense. Super perfumed too. Light on but with impact.
Based in the village of Rotalier in Jura’s south, ‘Fanfan’ Ganevat is one of Jura’s most charismatic winemakers. Fanfan comes from a long line of vignerons that dates back to the mid 17th century, though fascinatingly the family had supplemented grape growing with dairy endeavours until the mid-1970s.
Fanfan cut his teeth in winemaking with his father, though also learned from Burgundian master Domaine Jean-Marc Morey before returning to the generational family property. He has judiciously converted viticulture to biodynamics, and has fine-tuned winemaking with a gentle hand, focussing on ouille (topping up) techniques and singling out unique plots and vineyards to build the domaine’s stellar reputation.
