Tissot Pinot Noir Sous La Tour 2022

Grape: Pinot Noir
Vintage: 2022
Type: Red

Tissot's 2022 Pinot Noir "Sous la Tour" from the Jura is a compelling expression of the grape from a non-Burgundian terroir. The grapes hail from a limestone slope known as "les Corvées Sous la Tour", farmed biodynamically, and harvested by hand. They undergo a 3 week whole-cluster maceration and then mature for a year in Burgundy barrels. Bottled without sulfur or filtration. The wine presents a translucent ruby color. On the nose, it offers a fragrant bouquet of red fruits—notably redcurrant and pomegranate—layered with subtle notes of forest floor, gentle spices, and a distinctive limestone minerality. The palate is elegant and balanced, showcasing a core of ripe red fruit framed by fine, silky tannins and a refreshing acidity that carries through a long, juicy finish. This wine is approachable in its youth but possesses the structure and finesse to evolve with cellar aging.
