About The Wine
Cremant du Jura is one of the eight designated Cremant appellations in France, designed to highlight the best non-Champagne sparklling wines. Think Cremant d'Alsace, Cremant de Loire... And it's an important category - about 25% of all wine from Jura is Cremant.
Tissot's BBF stands for ‘Blanc de Blancs, Eleve en Fut’ - 100% Chardonnay raised in oak barrels (futs de chene). Another zero dosage, zero adds wine, this is at once lively and punchy with some toasty richness which develops gloriously on the palate.
It's a blend of vintages 2014% (75) and 2015 (25%), from certified organic and biodynamic fruit. And it's the bomb with a plate of roast chicken, eaten with your fingers.
About Benedicte & Stephane Tissot
Andrew Jefford once described Stéphane as a, "human firework", which sums up his irrepressible energy and tenacity perfectly. Stéphane, along with his wife Benedicte are two of the most exacting and impassioned producers in the Jura today.
Their range spans the full gamut of the region: from delicious, toasty Cremant to laser-focused styles of Chardonnay and Savagnin; through his electric examples of Pinot Noir, Poulsard and Trousseau to their iconic oxidative Vin Jaune wines aged under flor. These wines have loudly proclaimed the quality and unique character of the Jura for many years. They are farmed biodynamically (Demeter certified), made in tiny and precise batches, and speak of each unique terroir under the Tissot banner in a unique voice.
The wines of Tissot sit at the very pinnacle of the region. They are natural, they are living, they are wines of unwavering integrity and singular character. They offer a transcendent drinking experience that you won't find anywhere else.
