✨ 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 and taken over by their son Stéphane alongside his wife Bénédicte in 1990, Domaine Bénédicte & Stéphane Tissot is an iconic benchmark of the Jura region, located in the village of Montigny-lès-Arsures near Arbois, France. A relentless pioneer of organic and biodynamic viticulture, Stéphane transitioned the estate to biodynamics in the early 2000s, championing minimal-intervention cellar techniques and native yeast fermentations to reveal hyper-specific terroirs. The domaine produces an extraordinary array of wines spanning profound single-vineyard Chardonnays from sites like Clos de la Tour de Curon and La Mailloche, energetic Savagnins, traditional sous-voile Vin Jaune, vibrant reds from indigenous Trousseau and Poulsard, and exceptional Crémant du Jura such as Indigène. Celebrated for their mineral intensity, purity, and vibrant tension, the estate's artisanal bottlings have rightfully elevated the global reputation of Jura winemaking.
