2019 Domaine Ganevat Les Varrons Vielles Vignes Cotes du Jura Chardonnay

Jean-François Ganevat's Les Varrons Vieilles Vignes is a 100% Chardonnay from the largest lieu-dit in Rotalier, Jura. The 2019 represents the second vintage from vines planted in 1922 on Bajocien soils composed of gravelly limestone and red marls rich in clay and iron oxide. Vinified naturally with indigenous yeasts, the wine undergoes extended élevage of 3-4 years in demi-muids and oak vats. Bottled without fining, filtration, or added sulfites, this ouillé-style Chardonnay reflects Ganevat's commitment to minimal intervention winemaking and his family's viticultural heritage dating to the 17th century.
