✨ Technical Specifications
An extraordinary monument to patience and Jura tradition, this rare cuvée from Bénédicte and Stéphane Tissot transcends the standard requirements for Vin Jaune. While appellation rules dictate a minimum of six years and three months of aging under a veil of yeast (sous voile) without topping up, Tissot allows this selection from the 'Les Bruyères' vineyard to rest in barrel for a full twelve years. Sourced from a distinct terroir of Lias clay, the Savagnin grapes develop profound concentration. Over more than a decade of slow evaporation and oxidative contact, the wine develops an unparalleled depth, offering a mesmerizing tapestry of walnuts, exotic curry spices, dried citrus peel, and intense mineral drive, preserved by the natural acidity of the site.
🍾 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.
