✨ Technical Specifications
An extraordinary, ultra-aged oxidative masterpiece, this cuv e represents the pinnacle of patience and traditional Jura winemaking. While Vin Jaune legally requires six years and three months of aging under a veil of yeast (sous voile), S ephane and B n dicte Tissot push the boundaries of the Jura tradition by aging this 100% Savagnin cuv e for an astonishing twelve years in oak barrels without topping them up. Resting undisturbed in their historic cellars in Montigny-les-Arsures, the wine undergoes a slow, deliberate evaporation known as the 'angels' share,' which concentrates its flavors and allows the yeast veil to impart legendary complexity. The result is a profound, golden nectar boasting intense aromas of walnuts, curry spices, fenugreek, and preserved citrus, balanced by the piercing, mineral-driven acidity characteristic of Jura's ancient lias clay and blue marl soils.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1962 by André and Mireille Tissot in Montigny-lès-Arsures, Domaine Tissot underwent an epochal transformation when Stéphane and Bénédicte Tissot assumed leadership in 1990. Propelling Jura winemaking into global reverence, they eliminated synthetic interventions, attaining organic certification in 1999 and full Demeter biodynamic status in 2004 across roughly 35 to 50 hectares. The estate encompasses preeminent micro-terroirs—notably Les Bruyères, La Mailloche, En Barberon, and Curon—defined by diverse Jurassic limestones and distinctive blue, grey, and red marls situated under continental montane influences. Stéphane champions hyper-parcel vinification using indigenous yeasts, amphorae, minimal sulfur, and unadulterated parcel identity. Tissot's extensive repertoire spans thrillingly chiseled non-oxidative ouillé bottlings like Chardonnay Clos de la Tour de Curon and Les Bruyères, transcendent traditional sous voile expressions, and profound benchmarks of Vin Jaune, culminating in an unyielding masterclass of geological transparency.
