Description

Bénédicte and Stéphane Tissot have long been a benchmark in the biodynamically managed Jura region. Their Château-Chalon 2016 is a true Vin Jaune – purely Savagnin, oxidatively aged under flor yeast for at least 6 years and 3 months in un-topped-up barriques. This strict method ensures maximum terroir expression and depth.

In the glass, it presents a rich amber gold. The nose develops a complex interplay of walnut, green nut, curry, dried apple, mushrooms, iodine, kerosene, and a delicate flinty touch – pure ethereal depth. On the palate, a rich, spicy body unfolds with lively acidity, salty minerality, and an infinitely long, velvety finish.

In Portrait:

Domaine Tissot

Domaine Tissot from Arbois is one of the defining producers of the French Jura and stands for powerful, authentic wines with strong terroir expression. Farmed biodynamically for decades, the vineyards on limestone and marl soils reflect the diversity of the region. Chardonnay and Savagnin show particular tension, saline minerality and aromatic depth here – whether in a purist, oxidative style or as Vin Jaune. Red varieties such as Poulsard, Trousseau and Pinot Noir also impress with finesse, clarity and vibrant freshness. Tissot’s style combines craftsmanship, a spirit of experimentation and deep respect for the Jura terroir. The wines are among the most characterful and sought-after interpretations of this unique region.

Origin in Focus

Jura

The French Jura is a small, distinctive wine region east of Burgundy, known for its characterful style and tradition-rich methods. Precise, mineral wines are produced on limestone-rich soils in a cool climate. Vin Jaune is especially famous: a long-aged wine with nutty, spicy and deep aromas.
