Named for Jean-Francois Ganevat's grandfather Julien, this is the domaine's three-grape Jura red: Pinot Noir, Poulsard and Trousseau from the En Billat parcel in the southern Revermont, with the subtitle L'Enfant Terrible du Sud nodding to the wilder character of the south. The blend is the point — Pinot for structure, Poulsard for perfume and paleness, Trousseau for spice and grip — and it is farmed biodynamically and made with wild yeasts, minimal sulfur and no filtration, like everything here. If you want to understand what the Jura's red grapes do together rather than separately, this is the bottle. Drink it now, with a slight chill.

"The 2024 Côtes du Jura Julien en Billat L'Enfant Terrible du Sud is a blend of Pinot Noir, Poulsard and Trousseau bottled at a modest 11.5% alcohol. Bursting with juicy red berry fruit, the 2024 embraces an early-picked style, emphasizing freshness over weight. It is light-bodied and vibrant, gliding effortlessly across the palate with bright acidity." —Nicolas Greinacher

More about Jean-Francois Ganevat

"Some winemakers claim not to do much in the winery. “The wines make themselves,” they may say. Others seem like alchemists: expert blenders and manipulators who coax beautiful wines even from unlikely terroir.

These may seem like opposite poles. The magic of Jean-François Ganevat, though, is that he occupies them both.

His “naturalist” tendencies are obvious. He farms naturally and biodynamically, and he is obsessed with using as little sulfur as possible. His wines developed an early cult following among the natural wine crowd, and the cult has only become more fervent over time.

But he is also very much an “alchemist,"" as Kermit Lynch describes him on their website. He makes up to 40 different cuvées every vintage and treats all of them differently. He uses a variety of techniques like lees-aging and deliberate oxidation to protect the wines in their low-sulfur environment. Although every wine ultimately comes from nature, there is no question that Ganevat has followed his own very precise intuitions and recipes to bring them to greatness."

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Roast pork, duck confit, sausages with lentils, or mushroom dishes. Comte and Morbier are the local answer.

Tasting Profile

Red cherry, cranberry, wild herbs and a peppery, earthy edge from the Trousseau. Light to medium-bodied with fine tannins, brisk acidity and a savory, mineral finish.
