✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted by the visionary Stéphane Tissot, this extraordinary Vin Jaune pushes the boundaries of traditional Jura winemaking. While appellation rules require Vin Jaune to be aged under a veil of yeast (la voile) for a minimum of six years and three months, Tissot extends this oxidative slumber to a staggering 99 months (over eight years) in un-topped oak barrels. Sourced from old-vine Savagnin grown on the region's prized blue and grey Lias marls, this extended aging coaxes out unparalleled depth. The wine is a sensory journey, offering intense aromas of toasted walnuts, curry spice, fenugreek, and dried stone fruits, balanced by a fierce, saline acidity that is characteristic of the Montigny-les-Arsures terroir. It stands as a monument to patience, craftsmanship, and the unique microclimate of the Jura.
🍾 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.
