La Combe; a tiny hamlet above the village of Rotalier is home to the larger-than-life “Fan Fan” Jean-François Ganevat. Jean-François came back to run the family estate in 1998 after ten years working Burgundy and he combines his passion for the Jura terroir – here ideal for Chardonnay and Pinot Noir - with a staunch defence of Burgundian techniques; low yields and most recently biodynamic methods for which he has now gained Demeter certification.
Les Varrons is a plot of very old Chardonnay planted on a limestone hillside vineyard gifting this expression more verve and electric tension than other Chardonnay from Ganevat. As you'd expect from Ganevat, there are no additions.
