Hailing from Montigny-les-Arsures, widely considered the spiritual home of the Trousseau grape, Stéphane and Bénédicte Tissot's 'Singulier' is a profound tribute to Jura's red winemaking heritage. This cuvée is crafted from old vines grown on the region's classic triassic red marls and gravelly clay soils. The name 'Singulier' reflects both the unique, rustic character of the ancient Trousseau variety and the distinctive blend of parcels used to create it. Stéphane employs traditional, low-intervention winemaking, utilizing indigenous yeasts, a lengthy maceration of up to a month, and aging in neutral oak foudres and barrels. Unfiltered and bottled with minimal sulfur, this wine captures the wild, forest-floor, and dark-berry essence of the Jura, balancing rustic tannins with a vibrant, mineral-driven acidity.
