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.
🍾 wine.about_producer
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'.
