✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 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.
