2017 Domaine Tissot "En Spois" Vin Jaune, Jura, France
ABOUT THIS WINE
Crafted exclusively from the Savagnin grape, this Vin Jaune originates from the "En Spois" vineyard, characterized by its clay soils and eastern exposure. The grapes are hand-harvested and fermented with indigenous yeasts. The wine then undergoes a minimum of six years of oxidative aging under a veil of yeast ("sous-voile") in old oak barrels, without topping up, resulting in its distinctive depth and complexity.

Founded in 1962, the domaine has embraced biodynamic viticulture, cultivating 35 hectares of vineyards certified by Demeter.
