Crafted by the visionary Stéphane Tissot in Montigny-les-Arsures, widely regarded as the historical capital of the Trousseau grape, this singular red wine represents a harmonious marriage of ancient vessel aging and biodynamic viticulture. The hand-destemmed Trousseau grapes are fermented and aged in clay amphorae for several months without any added sulfur. This ancient technique of clay aging allows for gentle micro-oxygenation without the aromatic imprint of oak, preserving the grape's wild, untamed character. The resulting wine is a pure, vibrant expression of Jura's unique terroir, marked by notes of forest berries, damp earth, and exotic spices, underpinned by a distinct mineral tension.

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'.
