2019 Jean-Francois Ganevat, Cotes du Jura, Julien en Billat

Jean-François Ganevat produces this wine at his family estate in the hamlet of La Combe, located in the Cotes du Jura appellation, where the family has maintained a winemaking presence since 1650. The wine is made from Pinot Noir grown in steep, south-facing plots featuring a mix of clay, limestone, and schist soils. In the glass, it displays bright red fruit notes and a fine, persistent minerality, carried by a texture that is both elegant and light-bodied. The 2019 vintage provided ideal ripeness, resulting in a balanced expression of this site that maintains focus and clarity. This bottling is ready to enjoy tonight, offering a direct and transparent look at the character of Jura Pinot Noir.
