My husband and I first tried this winemaker at Caves Madeleine, our favorite restaurant in Burgundy. I believe it was also this first time I had heard about Jura. We’ve since fallen in love with these wines and Jean Francois Ganevat in particular. This excellent old vine Chardonnay has notes of melon rind, honey and citrus and good minerality as well as a mouth coating richness. — 6 years ago

Pretty fun purple sparkle juice with a prickle and a floral dusty spicy prettiness that delights rather than distracts from its exuberance. — 6 years ago
Quite intriguing, not a style of winemaking I reach for often, but an example of it done well. Minimal extraction and no SO2 with the allure and charm this has can be quite difficult. It’s a little skanky upon first opening, but after a night in the bottle it cleaned up considerably, the brett and VA melted into the wine a little more and its muddled melange of red fruit and earth became apparent. Crushed rainer cherry, decaying strawberries, rhubarb compote, white pepper, sweaty brett. I like blurring the lines between light red and rosé, and the wine worked well with roast chicken w/ spices and poblano mashers night one and fared well with tomato/avocado salad and grilled sardines the next night. That versatility at the table was impressive. — 4 years ago
Generös, saftig frukt med komplexitet och påtaglig brettighet som dock luftas ur en del tillsammans med initialt ”fizz”. Absolut gott men tror tyvärr att årgången drar frukten åt det väl kokta håller. Minns det dock som betydligt slankare och friskare (mer lingon och tranbär) när jag smakade det källarsvalt med Anne Ganevat bland deras vintunnor i Rotalier ”sous la Roche” förra sommaren... — 6 years ago
