Benedicte & Stephane Tissot Macvin du Jura Blanc NV

Tissot
$58.00

Grape: Chardonnay, Savagnin
Vintage: 2018
Type: Sweet Wines

Golden-hued and brilliantly bright, this Macvin bursts with flavors of candied orange peel, baked apricot, beeswax, dried fruits, marjoram, and warming baking spices. On the palate, its velvety richness is perfectly countered by a characteristic Jura salinity and gentle bitterness reminiscent of fine vermouth. Its soft sweetness lingers beautifully, making each sip captivating. Fine bubbles and vibrant acidity elevate its indulgent profile, offering a sweet wine that’s anything but cloying.

 

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.
