✨ wine.spec_sheet
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.
🍾 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'.
