✨ 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 in Montigny-lès-Arsures, Domaine Tissot underwent an epochal transformation when Stéphane and Bénédicte Tissot assumed leadership in 1990. Propelling Jura winemaking into global reverence, they eliminated synthetic interventions, attaining organic certification in 1999 and full Demeter biodynamic status in 2004 across roughly 35 to 50 hectares. The estate encompasses preeminent micro-terroirs—notably Les Bruyères, La Mailloche, En Barberon, and Curon—defined by diverse Jurassic limestones and distinctive blue, grey, and red marls situated under continental montane influences. Stéphane champions hyper-parcel vinification using indigenous yeasts, amphorae, minimal sulfur, and unadulterated parcel identity. Tissot's extensive repertoire spans thrillingly chiseled non-oxidative ouillé bottlings like Chardonnay Clos de la Tour de Curon and Les Bruyères, transcendent traditional sous voile expressions, and profound benchmarks of Vin Jaune, culminating in an unyielding masterclass of geological transparency.
