Tissot DD 2023
TissotGrape: Poulsard Trousseau Pinot Noir
Vintage: 2022
Type: Red
The 'DD' is Stéphane's homage to his father, Andre ("DD"), harking back to a time before Stéphane, when Jura's red wines were typically blends of the region's three native varieties. The 'DD' combines Poulsard, Trousseau, and Pinot Noir in equal measure. An extremely long and gentle maceration process imparts a tender yet robust structure with broad tannins, creating a delightful and unexpected texture for such a light wine. Vibrant and perfumed red blend from the Jura, a region celebrated for its unique wines. On the nose, it offers bright, wild red fruits like raspberry and cherry, complemented by notes of violet and a hint of white pepper and earthy spice. The palate is light-bodied and juicy with a brilliant acidity, supported by a fine tannic structure. It's a fresh, energetic, and immensely drinkable wine that benefits from a slight chill.
Stéphane Tissot and his wife Bénédicte have 35 hectares of vineyards “cultivated in bio-dynamic viticulture (certified by Demeter) to allow the soils to live, to have grapes untouched by chemical products, to allow natural yeast fermentations, to reduce the doses of sulfur in the cellar.”
They produce truly unique, terroir-driven natural wines, wines we love, admire, and cherish. These are without doubt some of our most prized wines.
André and Mireille Tissot founded their estate in 1962, in the village of Montigny-les-Arsures, in the Jura. Stéphane took over from his father with a new vision and converted it to chemical-free farming, organic and then biodynamic. They are meticulous in their farming and in the cellar, producing up to 28 unique cuvees.
A wine made with love and passion produces an emotion... You can find in a wine the personality and the character of those who made it because each gesture, each operation, each decision has its importance.
