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.
🍾 wine.about_producer
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'.
