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.

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'.
