✨ 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 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.
