Ganevat les Chamois du Paradis Chardonnay 2019

A green landscape shaped by small hills nestled between Burgundy and Switzerland. Aromatized by the vapors of Comté, the great cheese of world fame. Cool climate, vineyards planted on slopes at different heights. Infinite varieties of grapes where Chardonnay, Savagnin, Poulsard, Trousseau, Gamay, etc. stand out. Fafan Ganevat, as his friends call him, is a true alchemist who drives you crazy with more than forty cuvées that he makes each year. A winemaker 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, where his sister Anne would later join him. He is a perfectionist and what would be maddening for most, he makes it an everyday occurrence. He hardly uses sulphur and there is always a fear that the wines will spoil during transport, but he avoids this completely by ageing on lees for long periods of time, even up to 11 years. His wines lack the traditional oxidation of the Jura and he prefers the Burgundian style of lightness and elegance. His wines are out of this world. Ganevat Les Chamois du Paradis Chardonnay 2019 This Cuvee comes from a vineyard planted on a clay-limestone terroir. The wine is kept in amphorae and in baro (demi-muds) tanks for 4 years without any intervention. It was bottled without clarifying, without filtering and without adding sulphur. Subtle wines, but with an impressive minerality. It is worth keeping track of.
