Tasting Notes
The Chevalier Montrachet of the Jura. From a mythical Clos of .72 of a hectare that dominates the vista of the Arbois vineyards. The hillside is shaped like a derriere and of course there is an ancient stone tower on the hill, all surrounded by a stone wall (hence the ancient name of the clos of tower on the arse). Here the old vines are planted at a density of 12,000 per hectare. - Importer Note
You won't find a producer more passionate about the Jura region and its wines than Stéphane Tissot.
Founded in the 1960s, the Domaine consists of 32 hectares spread across Arbois and the Cotes du Jura. All of the vineyards are farmed biodynamically, reflecting Stéphane's belief in the benefits of natural processes. Combined with his ruthless yield reduction philosophy and 'small batch' approach to winemaking, the wines produced are some of the most pure, serious and exciting expressions of the Jura.
In the winery, everything is carried out naturally with little to no sulphur used. Stéphane is constantly experimenting and obsessively seeking improvements to both viticulture and vinification, striving to capture the greatest expression of his vineyards in every glass. His passion is evident. And so to the quality of his wines, which are leading the charge in the Jura revolution.
