Rating: Gault Millau 18/20, RVF 17.5/20, Bettane & Desseauve 17.5/20
“The sun at its zenith warms the clay soils of this south-facing terroir, which has a generous character. The Vin Jaune wines from this region are luminous, deep, dense, and concentrated, coupled with astonishing minerality and finesse.” (The Bettane & Desseauve Guide to French Wines 2014). A powerful and complex Vin Jaune, with aromas of nuts, spices (curry), and smoky notes... A must-try from Maison Tissot!

Rated estate (2020 guide) 4 stars (Producers of very high quality, those who are the pride of French vineyards)
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 with his wife Bénédicte, he has revealed the full richness of the Jura terroirs through great wines from selected plots. The variety of the range is matched only by the quality and purity of the wines, as well as the winemaker's tireless craftsmanship and experimentation. High-density trellis planting, mass selection, aging in amphorae, extended maceration, and sulfur-free wines are all strings that Stéphane Tissot adds to his bow. Some fifty hectares of vineyards, cultivated biodynamically, form one of the most exciting estates in the region.

Rated estate (2020 guide) 3 stars (These represent the excellence of French vineyards. The best terroirs cultivated by the greatest winemakers. Tasting their wine is always a magical moment.)
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 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 pomace is here wonderfully integrated! The reds and oxidative wines have acquired an unforgettable finesse and freedom of expression. The meticulousness of the work and the kaleidoscopic depth of the range unquestionably place the estate at the pinnacle of regional production.

Review by Mr. FRANK D. Posted on August 23, 2013
Just as delightful as "En spois," but with a more mineral character, which gives it an incredibly long finish and perhaps makes it more approachable and easier to pair with food.
