Tissot, king of exciting Chardonnay

Tissot produces a wide range of highly sought-after wines : Savagnin (aka Traminer), Trousseau, Poulsard, Pinot Noir, Vin Jaune, Crémants, and Macvin. But the very best wines are the phenomenal Chardonnays. They express the terroir with enormous richness and pure elegance through fine acidity and minerality. Without a doubt , they are among the very finest wines from the Jura.

Stéphane Tissot also enjoys experimenting. For example, he ages some wines in large 400-liter amphorae, which further enhances their delicate character. Take, for example, the red Trousseau En Amphore.

Jura, worth discovering!

The Jura is a beautiful holiday region. Unfortunately, Jura wines aren't as well-known in the Netherlands as Jura cheeses (Morbier, Bleu de Gex, Comté, Crémeux du Jura). You will, however, find Tissot on the menus of many Michelin-starred restaurants.

The Jura has several sub-appellations: AOC C ô tes du Jura , AOC Arbois, AOC Ch â teau-Chalon and the small L'Etoile. There is also the AOC Macvin du Jura and the AOC Crémant du Jura.
