In the heart of the Jura, Bénédicte and Stéphane Tissot craft a rosé that is far from ordinary, reflecting the region's wild beauty and unique geological heritage. Sourced from biodynamically farmed vineyards in Montigny-les-Arsures, where clay and limestone scree dominate the landscape, this wine is a testament to minimal-intervention winemaking. Utilizing indigenous Jura varieties like Poulsard and Trousseau alongside Pinot Noir, the Tissots employ native yeast fermentation and minimal sulfur to preserve the raw energy of the fruit. The result is a gastronomic rosé of exceptional texture, showing a savory complexity, vibrant acidity, and a distinct mineral backbone that echoes the ancient marine soils of the Jura.

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'.
