Irresistible Arbois: Tissot!

Today, we're pleased to share the last bits of our latest allocation from Tissot. Great pricing, solid press, plus with a few gems in stock. Happy hunting!

It's hard not to talk about the Jura without considering Tissot. Started in 1962, Domaine Andre et Mireille Tissot largely flew under the radar, that is, until Stéphane, their son, took over in 1990... Tireless and full of character, Stéphane farms between 45-50 hectares biodynamically, travels across the world advocating for the entire region, makes innumerable cuvées, and is more intimately familiar with the region's terroir than almost everyone else.

2023 Benedicte & Stephane Tissot Arbois Chardonnay Patchwork
WA92+
"The 2023 Patchwork Chardonnay was produced with grapes from clay (60%) and limestone (40%) soils and aged in barrel for one year. 2023 was also warm, but the wine is fresher than the 2022, partially because of the good yields that produced fine-boned musts. The idea is to show the Jura, which is a blend of terroirs, in a white that is tasty, balanced and with a sense of ripe fruit."
-Luis Gutiérrez

2023 Benedicte & Stephane Tissot Arbois Poulsard Vieilles Vignes
WA94
"The 2023 Poulsard Vieilles Vignes is very pale and bright, not only in color but also in aromas and flavors. It has lots of finesse and elegance and comes through as clean and precise. It shows contained ripeness and a moderate 12.5% alcohol, which make it a light- to medium-bodied, fine-boned wine with very fine tannins."
-Luis Gutiérrez

2023 Benedicte & Stephane Tissot Arbois Jura Rose Massale
WA92
"The 2023 Rose Massale was produced with the rare pink Chardonnay, a mutation whose grapes have a color like Gewürztraminer. Like many wines here, it's 60% from clay soils and 40% from limestone, all very good terroirs, and the clay ones (like the ones in La Mailloche) give it a nice reduction. It's a more structured wine, with a characterful nose, a little larger and more concentrated, open and generous, finer-boned than the 2022 but not as mineral as other vintages like 2020."
-Luis Gutiérrez

2022 Benedicte & Stephane Tissot Arbois Pinot Noir Sous La Tour
WA92+
"The 2022 Pinot Noir Sous La Tour was produced with the grapes from a limestone-rich plot near La Tour de Curon, fermented with full clusters and indigenous yeasts in open oak vats with four weeks of maceration and matured in oak barrels for two years. It shows ripe berry fruit and more finesse than the Pinot from En Barberon, with fine tannins, perfumed and elegant."
