Domaine Tissot - Vin Jaune En Spois 2012

Sparkling like his crémants, energetic like his white wines, approachable like his reds, and full-bodied like his yellow wines, Stéphane Tissot is undoubtedly the driving force behind the Jura wine region. Taking over the family estate in 1993 alongside his wife, Bénédicte, he has successfully brought to light the full richness of the Jura’s terroirs through exceptional single-vineyard wines. The variety of his portfolio is matched only by the quality and purity of the wines, as well as the winemaker’s masterful craftsmanship and tireless experimentation. High-density staked vineyards, mass selection, aging in amphorae, extended macerations, and sulfur-free wines are just some of the strings Stéphane Tissot adds to his bow. Some fifty hectares of vineyards, cultivated biodynamically, make up one of the region’s most exciting estates.

What an incredible journey Stéphane Tissot has been on since 1990! The vineyard’s transition to organic farming began in 1999, and today it is cultivated biodynamically. Regardless of the type of wine, everything is managed with talent and sensitivity, and the flavors are of perfect integrity. The Macvin wines are the finest in the region. The rustic character often imparted by the grape pomace is wonderfully integrated here! The reds and oxidative wines have acquired an unforgettable finesse and freedom of expression. The meticulous craftsmanship and the kaleidoscopic depth of the lineup unquestionably place the estate at the pinnacle of regional winemaking.
