## About this wine

Poulprix is an inventive cross-regional red produced under the négoce label established by master winemaker Jean-François Ganevat and his sister Anne in La Combe de Rotalier. Conceived to overcome small harvests caused by severe spring frosts in the Jura, this project collaborates with organic grape growers across Beaujolais, Alsace, and Jura. By blending Beaujolais Gamay with indigenous Jura grapes, Poulprix offers access to Ganevat's legendary winemaking vision at an approachable entry point.

## Interesting facts

- Combines Beaujolais Gamay with rare native Jura grape varieties like Poulsard and Savagnin.
- Crafted with zero added sulfur dioxide and bottled completely unfined and unfiltered.
- Created by Jean-François Ganevat to combat severe frost damage in the Jura region.

## Food pairing

The vibrant acidity and supple, light tannins of this natural red effortlessly cut through the rich fat of cured meats and sausages without overpowering delicate white meats or savory pastries.

## Wine making process

The grapes undergo cold semi-carbonic maceration in truncated conical wooden vats for 19 to 26 days at 12–14°C. Fermentation occurs naturally using 100% indigenous yeasts without mechanical pumping over or punching down. The wine is aged for 8 to 10 months in neutral wooden vats (foudres) before being bottled unfined, unfiltered, and with zero added sulfur dioxide.
