Crafted by the visionary Stéphane Tissot, the '10 Ans d'Age' is a masterclass in the traditional oxidative winemaking of the Jura. This extraordinary dry white wine is made entirely from Savagnin grapes and undergoes an astonishing ten years of aging 'sous voile' (under a veil of flor yeast) in neutral oak casks without any topping up. This prolonged contact with the yeast veil—nearly four years longer than the legal requirement for Vin Jaune—results in a wine of breathtaking complexity, power, and depth. It pays homage to the historic, patient cellaring traditions of Montigny-les-Arsures, capturing the essence of the region's blue marl and limestone soils through an intense aromatic profile of toasted walnuts, exotic curry spices, dried stone fruits, and a piercing, saline minerality.

Founded in 1962 by André and Mireille Tissot, Domaine André et Mireille Tissot (widely known as Bénédicte & Stéphane Tissot) is a pioneering estate located in Montigny-les-Arsures in the Jura region of France. Under the visionary leadership of Stéphane Tissot and his wife Bénédicte, who took over in 1989, the estate transitioned to organic farming in 1999 and achieved biodynamic certification in 2004. Renowned for their uncompromising commitment to terroir, they practice meticulous parcel-by-parcel vinification using minimal sulfur and indigenous yeasts to craft highly expressive, mineral-driven wines. Their legendary portfolio includes singular white expressions like the clay-driven 'La Mailloche' and 'Les Bruyères' Chardonnays, complex Savagnins, and profound Vin Jaune, alongside exceptional reds such as the 'Trousseau Singulier'.
