Tissot Chardonnay Les Bruyeres 2022

Grape: Chardonnay
Vintage: 2022
Type: White

The **Domaine Tissot "Les Bruyères" 2022 Chardonnay** is an expressive and mineral-driven wine from the Jura region. The tasting profile reveals a complex bouquet of ripe stone fruit, green apple, and citrus, framed by a distinct flinty, smoky, and chalky minerality. On the palate, the wine is concentrated and powerful, with a creamy texture balanced by vibrant, saline acidity. The finish is long and persistent, leaving notes of dried fruit and toasted nuts. The wine's character is a direct result of its meticulous vinification. The grapes, sourced from old vines (up to 80 years old) on a south-facing slope of clay and blue marl, are hand-harvested and undergo spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts. The wine is then aged for approximately 24 months in French oak barrels, with a small percentage of new oak (around 20%), on its fine lees. This "ouillé" method, where the barrels are topped up regularly, prevents oxidation and allows the wine to develop a fresh, pure, and terroir-expressive character. The use of biodynamic farming further contributes to the wine's authenticity and depth.
