Notes from Kermit Lynch:

"Jean-François Ganevat—known as Fanfan—is making wine with the inspired magic of an alchemist. His wines occupy the better part of the hamlet, filling picturesque country cottages with barrels and barrels of his diverse, yet traditional creations. He comes from a long line of winegrowers, dating as far back as 1650, although the family supplemented their grape-growing with a dairy farm that produced milk destined for the local cheese, Comté, until 1976. After working both for his father and for the prestigious Domaine Jean-Marc Morey in Chassagne-Montrachet, Jean-François returned to the Jura in 1998 to take over the family domaine. Today, he is joined by his sister, Anne. With only eight and a half hectares under vine, the family has seventeen different local varieties planted of both red and white grapes—an incredible amount of variation to consider for holdings of such small size. For such a fervent perfectionist and insatiable lover of details as Jean-François, the decision to have the domaine certified as biodynamic was a natural choice."

Vintage Notes from Clos des Millesimes:

Chamois du Paradis 2018 is made from an old Chardonnay vine planted on a clay-limestone soil. The wine is topped-upin demi-muids for 3 years, without any intervention. It is bottled without fining, without filtration or addition of SO2. The soils are ploughed and the vines protected by preparations based on natural plants.
