Anne and Jean-François Ganevat’s 2021 Champs Poids is a great Jura white wine, made from Chardonnay grapes grown on a plot planted in 1986 near Arbois. This vineyard site rests on Bajocian limestone soils, whose chalky nature and coolness play a fundamental role in the wine’s balance. The vines are tended with the utmost respect for organic and biodynamic farming practices by a winemaker and friend of the estate, André-Jean Morin, following an approach faithful to Jean-François Ganevat’s convictions.
