✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the 'En Barberon' climat in the commune of Bréry, this exceptional Chardonnay is a masterclass in the 'ouillé' (topped-up) style of the Jura, pioneered by Stéphane Tissot to showcase terroir purity over oxidative character. The vineyard, characterized by its heavy, dark Lias clay soils, imparts a signature power, density, and deep-seated mineral tension to the wine. Fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged in French oak, this cuvée reflects the Tissot family's absolute dedication to biodynamic viticulture, capturing the wild, untouched spirit of the Jura hillsides in a structured, age-worthy white of remarkable complexity.
🍾 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.
