Tasting Notes
Young and fresh now, but always destined for a long life. Already with a savoury feel, with the fresh blackberry type fruit showing through. After 24 hours a touch more fruit, elegant, and characteristic Jura acidity. 12% alc. A keeper, but if you can't wait, decant at breakfast for dinner. - Michael L
A 1/3 assemblage of the 3 Jura reds: Pinot Noir, Poulsard, Trousseau. Whole-bunch Pinot Noir with the rest destemmed by hand. Made using the same process as 50 years ago: a long maceration, no pump-overs and fermented for 3 months on skins in a large 100yo, 2000litre Foudres. Bottled without SO2 and without filtration. - Winery 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.
