MV Benedicte & Stephane Tissot, Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut en Fût (BBF)
Tissot’s sparkling program commands just as much legendary status as his still wines, easily rivaling top-tier grower Champagnes for complexity and terroir precision. This "BBF" (Blanc de Blancs élevé en Fût) is an absolute darling of the sommelier community due to its extended wood aging and prolonged time on the lees. It stands as a brilliant testament to the heights that traditional-method Jura sparkling wine can achieve when crafted with obsessive care.
Made entirely from estate Chardonnay, the wine showcases an extraordinarily creamy texture balanced by a razor-sharp spine of acidity. The tasting profile highlights high-toned green apple, lemon curd, toasted brioche, and roasted almonds, rounded out by a striking, chalky minerality. Bottled with zero dosage, it is bone-dry, vinous, and stunningly precise on the finish.
