Tissot Chardonnay En Barberon 2022

Grape: Chardonnay
Vintage: 2022
Type: White

The Domaine Tissot "En Barberon" 2022 Chardonnay is a precise and complex expression of Jura's unique terroir. The wine showcases vibrant notes of ripe yellow fruit, citrus, and a strong mineral backbone, balanced by hints of toasted hazelnut and fresh butter. It has a silky texture with a long, elegant finish. Vinification highlights a minimal intervention approach, with grapes from old vines (1970s) being hand-harvested and fermented with native yeasts. The wine ages for around 24 months in French oak barrels that are regularly topped up (ouillé) to prevent oxidation, resulting in a fresh and pure style. A notable detail of the 2022 vintage is that it was made without added sulfur, further highlighting its raw character.
