La Barraque Chardonnay - Anne et Fanfan Ganevat
La Barraque Chardonnay – Anne & Fanfan Ganevat
Region: Jura, France (Côtes du Jura)
Grape Variety: 100% Chardonnay from old vines planted on Lias marl soils
Vintage: e.g., 2019 (also available as other recent vintages)
Style: Natural white wine – long lees aging, zero SO₂ addition, unfined/unfiltered
Alcohol: ~13%
Bottle Size: 75 cl
🌱 Vinification & Terroir
Hand-harvested Chardonnay grown on limestone-rich Lias marls—a hallmark of Jura terroir. The wine undergoes delicate pressing and is fermented with indigenous yeasts, with no new oak used. It is then matured on fine lees in demi-muids/barrels for three years, with no sulphur, fining, or filtration
🧭 Tasting Notes
A luxurious Jura Chardonnay with an alluring golden hue. The nose reveals sesame seeds, stone, pear, quince, honeysuckle, and delicate vanilla-almond nuances. The palate opens with fleshy richness, then shifts to vibrant citrus and saline minerality, finishing with chalky tension reminiscent of Chablis . The texture is full yet refreshing, with a long, mouth-watering finish.
🍽️ Food Pairing
Excellent with salt-crusted fish, mushroom-stuffed poultry, creamy seafood dishes, aged cow’s cheese, or a classic blanquette de veau. For best expression, decant or aerate before serving at 10–12 °c
🌟 Why We Love It
A masterclass in Jura terroir—old-vine Chardonnay, biodynamically farmed, elevated by Jean‑François Ganevat’s ultra-low‑intervention approach. The three-year lees ageing leads to a wine that’s at once generous, refined, and deeply mineral—truly a cult classic
