✨ wine.spec_sheet
While the Jura is legendary for its oxidative white wines, its cool-climate red wines, particularly Pinot Noir, have captured the hearts of wine lovers worldwide. Introduced to the region from neighboring Burgundy in the Middle Ages, Pinot Noir has found a unique expression in the complex clay and limestone soils of Arbois. Stéphane and Bénédicte Tissot craft their Pinot Noir using strict biodynamic principles, harvesting by hand and fermenting with indigenous yeasts in large wooden vats with minimal sulfur. The wine is aged in oak barrels to allow the pure, vibrant voice of the terroir to speak. This wine captures the wild, untamed spirit of the Jura, offering a delicate yet intensely aromatic profile of red currants, forest floor, and a distinct mineral tension that sets it apart from its Burgundian cousins.

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'.
