Description of Arbois Vin Jaune

Estate

Domaine Ganevat is a leading estate in the Jura region, known for its respectful approach to nature and a blend of traditional know-how with great precision. Jean-François Ganevat, the passionate winemaker, produces wines with strong personality fully expressing the richness of the Jura terroir.

Vineyard

Located in Jura, the vineyard benefits from an argillaceous-limestone soil ideal for growing Savagnin, the region's emblematic grape variety. The soils provide a particular minerality that ensures finesse and complexity in the wines. The continental climate offers a wide temperature range that favors grape maturity and freshness.

Wine

This 2016 Arbois white wine, bottled in a 62 cl Clavelin, expresses all the typicality of Savagnin. With 17% alcohol, it stands out by its concentration and aromatic depth, characteristics of the meticulous work at the estate. It is an elegant structured wine, revealing complex aromas of dried fruits and spices, typical of Jura’s vin jaune.

Vintage

The 2016 vintage benefited from favorable climatic conditions allowing great grape maturity and remarkable aromatic expression. The harvest was carried out in excellent sanitary conditions ensuring optimal wine quality. This vintage is already well integrated but holds an interesting aging potential.

Vinification & Aging

Vinification follows Jura tradition, with aging under a veil of yeast in barrels, in Clavelin, allowing development of the specific Savagnin aromas. This method guarantees unique aromatic complexity and a gentle evolution in the bottle while preserving freshness and liveliness.
