Ganevat Cuvee Madelon Tinto 2023

A green and molded landscape with small hills nestled between Burgundy and Switzerland. Flavored by the vapors of the Comté, the great cheese of world fame. Cool climate, vineyards planted on slopes at different heights. Countless varieties of grapes where Chardonnay, Savagnin, Poulsard, Trousseau, Gamay stand out... Fafan Ganevat, as his close friends call him, is a true alchemist who drives you crazy with more than forty cuvées he makes every year. A vigneron whose religion is biodynamics and natural wines. A tiny Domaine in the village of La Combe de Rotailer where he manages approximately eight hectares. Trained in Chassagne Montrachet with Jean Marc Morey, he took over the family property in 1998, later joined by his sister Anne. He is a perfectionist and for what most would be maddening, he makes it everyday. He barely uses sulfur and there is always a fear that the wines will spoil during transport, but he completely avoids this by aging on the lees for long periods of time, even up to 11 years. His wines lack the traditional Jura oxidation and he prefers the Burgundian style of lightness and elegance. His wines are from another world.
Ganevat Cuvee Madelon Red 2023:
Made with a broad base of Gamay and a minority of autochthonous varieties from the Jura area that are almost extinct. Aged between eight and ten months in large oak foudres. It is a basic but essential cuvée to get to know the style that Jean Francois gives to Morgon wines. Its name is "Vin de France" because it belongs to more than one region. Experience that they have been developing in recent times where they work with vineyards outside the Jura and an addition of local varieties.
