The Tissot family has been producing wine in the Jura since 1962, with Stéphane and Bénédicte taking the reins from his parents, André and Mireille. They have since acquired a formidable reputation as being among the region's top winemakers, farming biodynamically since 2004 and striving to express the character of the Jura terroir above all else. Domaine Stéphane et Bénédicte Tissot is in Arbois, a commune located within Jura, about 30 miles west of Switzerland. It's an insular area that specializes in unique renditions of both classic and little-known grapes.

Bénédicte et Stéphane Tissot are a powerhouse winemaking couple based out of Arbois in the Jura region. Their perspective plays a vital to the style of their wine. They favor natural wines as opposed to industrial ones, and wines that show off nature’s gifts versus winemaking. Their wines have been certified biodynamic by Demeter. Many of Jura’s wines go for an oxidative style; their wines are not this. They prefer a reductive style, the opposite of the local style. Their love is shown by their passion and their drive to make several different wines.

Tasting Notes: This gorgeous blend of Pinot Noir, Poulsard, and Trousseau shows flavors of tart strawberries, white cherry, tangerine, and rose petals, leading to a zesty, lees-influenced finish. This taut and dry wine makes for the perfect after-work aperitif!

Critical Acclaim & Reviews

Wine Advocate

There is also a pink sparkler, the NV Crémant du Jura Rosé Extra Brut: 40% Pinot Noir and 30% each Poulssard and Trousseau. The Rosé is more complicated to make non-dosage, with the lees reduction. The nose is quite shy, but the palate has some more obvious flavors of red berries, and they are also amplified by the mousse and the acidity. It fills your palate, and it’s clean and tasty.

Vinous

Pale orange. Smoky bouquet of redcurrant, orange zest and rose, with a toasty leesy nuance gaining strength with aeration. Gently sweet and elegant, this blend of Pinot Noir, Poulsard and Trousseau opens with tangerine and strawberry flavors that gain weight on air. Finishing on a stony note, it shows very good clarity and length, with a subtly floral aftertaste. (JP, 06/2015)

Wine Enthusiast

Son Stéphane is the winemaker at this leading Jura estate, also known for its Sherry-like vin jaune. This rosé is at the other end of the taste spectrum, a light, delicate wine, with fresh red currant and raspberry flavors, some almonds, and a crisp streak of acidity to finish. (06/2006)
