Working organically and biodynamically across an exceptional collection of old-vine parcels, Ganevat combines meticulous vineyard work with a minimalist approach in the cellar. His wines possess a Burgundian finesse while retaining the freshness, energy and unmistakable personality of the Jura.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLes Rescapés\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is a particularly rare and fascinating cuvée, born from the disastrous \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e2021 vintage\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, when severe spring frosts devastated the Jura’s white grape crop.
