Ganevat Le Clos Savagnin 2020

Le Clos is made from old Savagnin vines planted on a terroir of gray marl and limestone scree. It was vinified in 1/2 muids for over three years, naturally without intervention, using native yeasts, without fining, without filtering, and without adding sulfur. A green, molded landscape with small hills nestled between Burgundy and Switzerland. Aromatized by the vapors of Comté, the great world-famous cheese. Cool climate, vineyards planted on slopes at different altitudes. Countless grape varieties, including Chardonnay, Savagnin, Poulsard, Trousseau, Gamay, and others. Fafan Ganevat, as his friends call him, is a true alchemist who drives you crazy with the more than forty cuvées he produces each 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 at Chassagne Montrachet with Jean Marc Morey, he took over the family estate in 1998, later joined by his sister Anne. He is a perfectionist, and what most would find maddening, he makes everyday. He barely uses sulfur and is always afraid that the wines will spoil in transit, but he completely avoids this by aging on the lees for long periods of time, sometimes up to 11 years. His wines lack the traditional Jura oxidation, and he favors the Burgundian style of lightness and elegance. His wines are out of this world.
