Jean-Francois Ganevat is an iconic winemaker, heralded not just as one of the best vignerons in Jura but in the natural wine world full stop. His family have deep roots in Jura and Jean-Francois began by working alongside his father in the 1970s. Formal training at wine school followed and thereafter a stint in Burgundy with Domaine Marc Morey, before Jean-Francois returned to take over the family business in 1998 where his legendary reputation has grown stronger with each passing year.

Les Survivants is Chardonnay from a number of parcels - 'the survivors' of a frost that severely affected the Ganevat harvest in 2021 - aged for 3 years in 600 litre oak barrels. A vigorous and layered wine with signature high-toned fruit, a silky mouthfeel and touches of baking spices, hay and stone fruit.
