About The Wine
Stephane Tissot is one of the most exacting and impassioned producers in the Jura today.
With a range that spans the full gamut of the region: from delicious, toasty Cremant to laser-focused styles of Chardonnay, through the juicy examples of 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 region for many years.
These are wines of integrity and character, and offer incredible drinking that you won't find anywhere else.
This special bottling of Vin Jaune, the 'W', is aged in old whisky casks from Michel Couvreur. Couvreur also makes a whiskey aged in old Tissot Vin Jaune casks in a melding of the two worlds. The whisky influence on the finished wine is very low, it imparts just a little extra body and softens the edges. This rare release is seldom seen on Australian shores.
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.
