NV Ganevat La Colline des Dames Rouge

Jean-François Ganevat produces 35–40 unique cuvées annually using grapes sourced from his own vineyard (Domaine Jean Francois Ganevat) or via negoce (Anne et Jean-Francois Ganevat). His approach is rooted in minimal sulfur additions, extended lees aging (up to 11 years for many whites), and controlled oxidation using Burgundian techniques such as ouillage. For red wines—primarily from Pinot Noir in Alsace—methods include semi‐carbonic maceration at 12–14°C and traditional vinification à l’ancienne in foudre, with fermentation driven by indigenous yeasts and without added sulfur. The wines are produced unfined and unfiltered, reflecting meticulous attention to vineyard expression, terroir, and traditional winemaking practices across both Vin de France and select elevated red wine styles.

Farming

Organic and Biodynamic cultivation methods are employed, utilizing indigenous yeasts and requiring no added sulphur (sans sulfites ajoutés).
 

Fermentation

Semi‐carbonic maceration is employed—often at low temperatures—with indigenous (native) yeast fermentation. Sulfur additions range from minimal doses to none, in line with low-intervention and biodynamic practices; fermentations are frequently conducted in large foudres.
 

Aging

Extended lees aging, intentional oxidation, and ouillage to top off barrels are applied, with some batches aged entirely in foudres.
