✨ Technical Specifications
In the heart of the Jura, where winemaking traditions have long been dominated by oxidative styles, Bénédicte and Stéphane Tissot emerged as revolutionary forces. Their white wines represent a masterclass in the 'ouillé' (topped-up) method, a technique Stéphane championed to preserve the pristine, vibrant fruit and intense minerality of the region's terroir. Sourced from biodynamically farmed vineyards in Arbois, these wines are crafted with minimal intervention, wild yeasts, and little to no added sulfur. The clay and limestone soils of Montigny-les-Arsures impart a signature smoky, saline complexity and electric acidity to the wine, redefining Jura whites on the global stage as energetic, precise, and deeply terroir-driven masterpieces.
🍾 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.
