“A basket of fruit… DD is juicy, flavorful, and indulgent.” (The Guide to the Best Wines of France 2020 - RVF) This ruby-red Arbois offers a complex, ripe, and very fruity nose. The sulfur-free winemaking process from which it stems is noticeable but remains very precise. On the palate, there is plenty of fruit and spice, with a lovely body and tannins that are still a bit firm but smooth... A very successful bottle!

Rated estate (2020 guide): 4*Stars (Producers of the very highest quality, the pride of French viticulture)

About the estate:

Sparkling like his crémants, energetic like his whites, 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 revealed 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 has added to his bow. Some fifty hectares of vineyards, cultivated biodynamically, make up one of the region’s most exciting estates.

Wine rated (2020 guide) 15,5/20 (Good wine)

Rated estate (2020 guide): 3*Stars (These represent the pinnacle of French winemaking. The finest terroirs cultivated by the greatest winemakers. Tasting their wine is always a magical experience.)

About the wine:

A basket of fruit... DD is juicy, flavorful, and delicious.

About the estate:

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 using biodynamic methods. 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 undeniably place the estate at the pinnacle of regional wine production.

Review by Ms. FRANCOISE R. Published on February 24, 2020

Sulfur-free wine....the wine continues to evolve in the bottle: a cider-like aroma, very effervescent, even sharp. Very expensive. Nothing like Berthet-Bondet’s “La Queue au Renard” blend—a pure delight.
