Côtes du Jura Julien En Billat Jean-François Ganevat (Domaine) 2013
The wine
This Côtes-du-Jura by Ganevat is a pure Pinot Noir that underwent destemming and carbonic maceration in order to preserve the freshness and delicate nature of the grape variety. After a sulphur-free vinification, it was matured for a year in barrels. It is ruby red in colour with an aromatic bouquet carried by intense notes of red fruit and a fine minerality. Flavourful, elegant, and persistent, it will be delicious with white meat and mushrooms.
About the Producer Ganevat (domaine)
Former head winemaker of Jean-Marc Morey in Chassagne-Montrachet, Jean-François Gavenat has become one of the most talented winemakers in the Jura since he took over his family domain in 1998. His vineyard spans 13 hectares and includes many different grape varieties. Gavenat has a natural and biodynamic approach (without certification) and produces some single vineyard wines (the domain boasts 50 different cuvées). The vines are relatively old and meticulously cared for. The yields are low and the vinifcations gentle. Some of the reds are matured in amphorae are of a very high quality ; Gavenat has recently got involved in negociant activity. This domain has played an important part in increasing the popularity of wines from the Jura. Production is small and the wines are prized by wine lovers all over.
