About The Wine
Pinot Noir is a grape that needs an expert touch to really show its true potential, and Jean Francois Ganevat is definitely one of the masters! This expression of Jura Pinot is a silky and seductive cuvee worthy of inclusion in any collector's cellar.
From the Ganevat estate's biodynamically-farmed vineyards, the grapes are fermented with wild yeasts and aged in a low-oxygen environment in the cellar. The result is a fresh, velvety-textured wine with bags of fruit and mineral character.
Like all Ganevat wines, the natural approach means no fining, no filtering, and no additions (including sulphur).
About Jean Francois Ganevat
Jean Francois Ganevat is one of the benchmark vignerons of the Jura region.
With the wisdom of generations of grape-growing knowledge coursing through his veins and the tutelage of his Burgundian legend mentor Jean-Marc Morey at front of mind, 'Fanfan' has taken his family Domaine to mythical status during his tenure as proprietor.
These wines are coveted the world over for their otherworldly clarity and precision. They are vivid and vibrant and made in painfully small quantities. They stand as a beacon of quality and craftsmanship in the natural wine world.
If you are lucky enough to sample one of his cuveés, it's likely to be an experience you will not soon forget.

From The Producer
Cuvée Julien is a pure Pinot Noir, a highly unusual wine that only Jean-François Ganevat knows how to produce. In fact, the wine is aged in a reducing environment, in a very cold cellar and no sulphur is added. Decanting is highly recommended after which the wine has a lovely ruby hue whose aromatic bouquet takes several moments to unfurl. Its sound attack, smooth texture and refined tannins embellish its mouth-watering, fruity and mineral aromas.

Can coupons and discounts be stacked? No, only one discount or coupon can be applied to an order at once.
I am trying to add more of a wine to my cart but it won’t let me? This means we are running low on stock of that wine.

Just contact us on 02 8376 8775 or hello@differentdrop.com and we'll organise the additional quantity for you.
