✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 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.
