Benedicte & Stephane Tissot Chateau Chalon Vin Jaune 62cl 2016

13% abv

Vol- 62cl

Vin Jaune from the “Grand Cru’ of the Jura by perhaps the most respected winery. Savagnin grapes barrel fermented and then aged sous-voile.

A sensational wine from west-facing Lias clay soils. Fine, delicate and concentrated with an almost citric bitterness. Wonderful fresh citrus fruit. Copmlexity, depth and a magical elegance. Hard to adequantely do justice to this wine with words.

“Vin Jaune is a very small percentage of the winery’s production, as they only make some 7,000 bottles (clavelin) of it per year. It’s a scarce and rare wine, which, from the best terroirs, shows vibrant and complex, with power and finesse. That is the case of the 2016 Château Chalon, which has great concentration, even in a lighter vintage, and reflects the more elegant profile of the Lias soils and keeps the citrusy aromas and flavors. It’s fresh, expressive, floral and herbal, with character, incisive and pungent. The aging potential of these wines has been proven over the years, and he is experimenting with longer élevage…” 2024 -2045

The Domaine, founded in the early 1960's, is now run by Bénédicte et Stéphane Tissot. The Domaine has now grown to 45HA in Arbois and Côtes du Jura; all of which is worked to Demeter certified Biodynamic principles - what a work load, eh? Not sort on vision Bénédicte & Stéphane realise the enormous nature of their task and work alongside more than 15 full time employees. That vision is also the driving force to the domaines uniqueness, when Stéphane's career saw him working in Brown Brothers in Oz during the 1990's, he realised that the yeast fermenting this wine thousands of miles away from his home was the same packet of yeast his Father was using in Jura. Cometh the hour, cometh the husband and wife team; Stéphane arrived back to Jura as the region turned its back on super fruity international styles of Chardonnay and began to look for some substance in it's past to take them forward. The cool family cellars of Domaine Tissot, in the Montigny-les-Arsureswhich, allow for slow fermentation are fitted with large, old oak casks, many from Chassin of Rully, an experimental wooden fermentation vat from Stockinger of Austria, and five clay amphorae. These factors allow for a range of peculiar styles to be produced, all with as little interference from the winemaker as possible!
