A&M Tissot, Chardonnay Rose Massale, Jura '22

A&M Tissot, Chardonnay Rosé Massale, Jura 2022. A brilliant and unique dry Chardonnay from top winemakers Stéphane and Bénédicte Tissot from the Arbois region in the Jura wine region. Made from a rare, spontaneous clone, Rosé Massale . The wine therefore has a light pink hue , similar to a Blanc de Noir.

• Serving: 12 °C
• Drink: now until 2032+

Through so-called " mass selection " from 40 vines, Tissot was able to propagate this clone and plant it in various plots with 60% clay and 40% limestone. Ideal for Chardonnay. This wine is more aromatic than you're used to with Chardonnay. A bit more bitterness and freshness make it extra exciting. Overall, quite powerful, with beautiful balance and tension. A favorite of top sommeliers, and rightly so!

Vin Jaune is very special and made from the Savagnin grape. Finally, there is a special dessert wine: Vin de Paille (literally: hay wine).
