Bénédicte et Stéphane Tissot Description
The Tissot family has been making wine in the Jura for decades — Stéphane's father André started the domaine in 1962. Stéphane's first vintage was in 1989, at the tender age of 19, and almost immediately thereafter he decided to eschew commercial yeasts and pursue organic farming (although the domaine has been certified biodynamic since 2004). Chez Tissot, the goal is to illustrate the region's unique terroir, and to that end, they vinify as many as 28 different cuvées, determined parcel by parcel according to the soil. The small production wines are marked by elegance and freshness, in styles that range from sparkling and still to the signature Vin Jaune of the region.
Stephane Tissot's crazy good late-harvested Vin Doux Naturel is made from 30-year-old Pinot Noir, farmed organically and biodynamically, as are all his vines, handpicked as ripe as possible. The fermentation is stopped by adding marc (it also made from Stephane's estate grapes). The wine is then matured for a year and bottled. This wine was produced from the 2018 harvest.
Tasting Note: It has gorgeous exotic flavors of red and black fruits, nuts, and spices.
Wine Pairing: It will stand up to sweet desserts, or it can be dessert by itself!
