Vin de Table Blanc Pétillant “Rott’Fall’R”
Anne & Jean-François Ganevat
Jean-François Ganevat loves to experiment, and he sees a small harvest in the Jura as an opportunity to look outside his home region for fruit to supplement the modest harvest from his own grapes. With this sparkler from the 2017 vintage, he looked north to the verdant hills of Alsace, where he found a parcel of organically farmed Riesling. The juice finished its fermentation in bottle and was not disgorged, giving a slightly cloudy pét-nat with a fine, yet lively bead along with lively aromas equal parts floral and funky. Curious, intriguing, refreshing, and fun to gulp down for no particular reason at all.

About The Region
Jura
The Jura wine world is a fascinating, mysterious, and at times confusing one. The region’s recent surge in popularity on American wine lists lies in contrast with how strange its wines come across to the uninitiated, with many of its indigenous production methods and quirky winemakers requiring more than an introduction for one to fully savor their virtues. We firmly believe, however, that the pleasure at stake is well worth a slight detour to study the wild world of Jura.
Jura tradition calls for aging whites sous voile, or under a fine “veil” of yeast that grows over wine in barrel that has not been topped-off (non ouillé) to compensate for evaporation. The voile effectively slows the process of oxidation, while chemical reactions between these microorganisms and the wine below give rise to a highly distinctive and complex set of aromas. Often hinting at walnuts, beeswax, oriental spices, cheese rind, and brine, wines aged sous voile can come as a shock to the unhabituated palate. Their textural and aromatic singularity naturally sets them in a category of their own at table, perhaps the best setting in which to gain an appreciation for such wines.
Many Jura producers also produce more conventional whites in an ouillé, or topped-off style, as is practiced in Burgundy–or for that matter, in essentially all the white wines we are accustomed to. This method preserves fresh fruit flavors without the rather rustic, often funky oxidative notes typical of wines aged sous voile.
