✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted under the rigorous biodynamic principles of Stéphane and Bénédicte Tissot, this rosé is a vibrant expression of the Jura's unique terroir. Sourced from estate vineyards in Montigny-les-Arsures, where clay and limestone scree soils dominate, the wine is fermented using indigenous yeasts and bottled with minimal sulfur. Unlike mass-produced, pale rosés, Tissot's interpretation is deeply flavorful, textured, and energetic, capturing the wild berry, earthy, and mineral-driven nuances characteristic of the region's traditional red grapes. It represents a thoughtful, low-intervention approach to rosé that prioritizes terroir authenticity over commercial uniformity.
🍾 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.
