Stéphane Tissot: the undisputed star of the Jura
His estate in Arbois combines biodynamic viticulture with a boundless curiosity for terroir, grape variety, and vinification. The result: an impressive range of wines that express the distinctiveness of the Jura like no other.
The Jura is a small but special wine region in eastern France, on the border with Switzerland. Unique grape varieties like Savagnin, Poulsard, and Trousseau grow here alongside Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Tissot works with all these varieties in diverse ways — in wood, in amphora, ouillé, or non-ouillé.
Chardonnay: a study in terroir
From the accessible Patchwork to the complex Les Bruyères and the impressive En Barberon — every Chardonnay from Tissot tells a different story about the Jurassian soil.
Red wines: Poulsard, Trousseau, and Pinot Noir
For red wine lovers, the Poulsard Vieilles Vignes, the Trousseau En Amphore, and the Trousseau Singulier are absolute highlights. The Pinot Noir En Barberon and Pinot Noir Sous La Tour are also not to be missed.
Savagnin: the oxidative style of the Jura
And then there is the fascinating Chardonnay Sursis Château-Chalon — the oxidative style for which the Jura is world-famous.
In short: A&M Tissot is essential for anyone wanting to understand the Jura. View all Jura wines at Lekker Sapje.
