Tissot Chardonnay Les Graviers 2022

Grape: Chardonnay
Vintage: 2022
Type: White

Tissot's Arbois Chardonnay "Les Graviers" is a brilliant expression of Jura Chardonnay and probably the most Burgundian of the single vineyard sites. On the palate, it is known for its remarkable tension and minerality, with a core of citrus and white stone fruit, and often a distinctive "noble reduction" note of flint and matchstick. It is a wine that balances a lean, chiseled structure with a sense of depth and concentration, culminating in a long, saline finish. The vinification is a testament to the domaine's meticulous and hands-off approach. Grapes are hand-harvested from biodynamically farmed vineyards with limestone-rich gravel soils. The wine undergoes spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts and is aged in French oak barriques, with a small percentage of new wood, for an extended period. The wine is bottled unfined and unfiltered, preserving its purity and authentic expression of a unique terroir.
