Bénédicte and Stéphane Tissot's 'PMG'—an acronym for 'Pour Ma Gueule' (French slang for 'for my own throat,' traditionally reserved for the winemaker's private stash)—is a legendary, ultra-concentrated sweet wine from the Jura. Crafted only in exceptional vintages, this rare nectar is made from grapes dried for several months on straw mats (passerillage) to concentrate their sugars, acids, and flavors. The resulting must is so rich that fermentation is incredibly slow, often taking years in oak casks to reach its natural halt. The wine is celebrated for its breathtaking balance of luscious sweetness and vibrant, electric Jura acidity, offering complex aromas of candied citrus, dried apricots, honey, and exotic spices. It stands as a testament to Stéphane Tissot's uncompromising, experimental spirit and mastery of traditional Jura styles.
🍾 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'.
