No conversation about legendary Jura wine is complete without mentioning Tissot's profound expressions of Vin Jaune made from 100% Savagnin. Sommeliers and collectors line up for these rare allocations because Stéphane treats each vineyard plot like a Grand Cru, coaxing unparalleled nuance out of the local landscape. This is a monument to patience and old-school craftsmanship, showcasing a singular style of wine found nowhere else on earth.
Sourced from the clay-heavy En Spois vineyard, this Savagnin ages for years completely untouched under a blanket of native yeast flor (la voile). The result is a medium-to-full-bodied masterpiece brimming with powerful, oxidative notes of crushed walnuts, preserved ginger, curry spice, and dried pineapple. The palate boasts an incredibly dense, textured core with an intense saline minerality and a finish that rings out for minutes.
