About the wine

Please note that due to tiny availability, this wine is limited to one bottle per customer. 

Buy-on-sight! Ganevat négoce blend of Gamay from Fleurie alongside native Jura varietals including Trousseau and Enfariné Noir and others. The grapes go through semi-carbonic maceration with native yeasts in frustoconical vats. The results are elegant, fluid and immensely drinkable.

Madelon comes from the négoce project of Jean-François and his sister Anne. A project set up in 2013 when the two joined forces and started purchasing fruit from responsible, likeminded growers all over France.

Blink and you’ll miss it, this is a Jura gem which we have just a handful of.

About Jean-François Ganevat

Ganevat comes from a long line of winegrowers, dating as far back as 1650, although the family supplemented their grape growing with a dairy that produced milk destined for the local cheese, Comté, until 1976. After working both for his father and for the prestigious Domaine Jean-Marc Morey in Chassagne- Montrachet, Jean-François returned to the Jura in 1998 to take over the family domaine. With only eight-and-a-half hectares under vine, the family had seventeen different local varietals planted of both red and white grapes-an incredible amount of variation to consider for holdings of such small size. For such a fervent perfectionist and insatiable lover of details as Jean-François, the decision to have the domaine certified as biodynamic was a natural choice.
