Bénédicte et Stéphane Tissot Les Graviers 2020
Domaine Stéphane et Bénédicte Tissot is in Arbois, a commune located within Jura, about 30 miles west of Switzerland. 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). 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.
Tasting notes
A taut, pure Chardonnay with beautiful acidity. The nose is redolent of fruit with notes of spice. The palate is mineralesque and rich, boasting lovely concentration. Beautiful balance and texture.
