Domain Ganevat Cotes du Jura Blanc Les Vignes de mon Père 2003 Magnum
The 2003 Domaine Ganevat Côtes du Jura Blanc Les Vignes de mon Père is a Jura white wine made from 100% Savagnin. This cuvée comes from very old, biodynamically farmed Savagnin vines. The 2003 vintage was aged for ten years before bottling in topped-up barrels (*fûts ouillés*), which are kept full to limit oxidation. A singular expression of Jura Savagnin shaped by an exceptionally long aging process.

Domaine Ganevat
Located in La Combe de Rotalier, Domaine Ganevat farms a fragmented Jura vineyard spread across several lieux-dits, notably En Billat, Les Grands Teppes, and Les Chalasses. Jean-François Ganevat has developed a deeply detailed, plot-by-plot approach to Chardonnay, Savagnin, and the red grape varieties of the Jura, practicing committed biodynamic viticulture since 2005. Jocelyn Broncard, cellar master since 2021, now ensures the continuity of vinification alongside Jean-François Ganevat.

Histoire du domaine
The Ganevat family's winemaking presence in the Jura dates back to the 17th century. After working with his father, and then for nine years at Domaine Jean-Marc Morey in Chassagne-Montrachet, Jean-François Ganevat took over the family estate in 1998. He progressively developed a highly parcel-specific production, revived several ancient grape varieties, and adopted biodynamic principles starting in 2005. In 2021, wishing to organize the transition of the estate, Jean-François Ganevat sold the vineyards, the name, and the trading activity to investor Alexander Pumpyansky, while remaining involved alongside his sister Anne; oenologist Jocelyn Broncard then joined the estate as cellar master and anticipated technical successor. Following the disruptions linked to the sanctions resulting from the invasion of Ukraine, ownership passed in 2023 to Benoît Pontenier and Jocelyn Broncard. Jean-François Ganevat remains active in the decisions and work of the estate, while Jocelyn Broncard gradually takes over the management of the cellar.
Les Vignes de mon Père
Les Vignes de mon Père is a white Côtes-du-Jura made from Savagnin originating from very old vines. The cuvée is distinguished by an exceptionally long topped-up (ouillé) barrel aging, generally close to ten years, which notably differentiates it from Vin Jaune aged under a veil of yeast. The 1999 vintage is the earliest documented release found.
- Origin of the cuvée name
- The name pays tribute to the old Savagnin vines planted by Jean-François Ganevat's father in 1930.
- Cuvée creation year
- 1999
- Style of the cuvée
- Dry, concentrated, and energetic white Savagnin, marked by structural acidity, great intensity, and preserved freshness despite an extremely long aging process. Regular topping-up (ouillage) limits the oxidative character and prioritizes fruit purity, depth, and length.
- Position within the range
- Iconic cuvée, highly rare and positioned at the very pinnacle of the estate's white wine range.
Histoire de la cuvée
After returning to the family estate in 1998, Jean-François Ganevat crafted this cuvée from the old Savagnin vines planted by his father in 1930. A bottle from the 1999 vintage is documented, followed by several vintages released after eight to twelve years of topped-up (ouillé) aging.
