Benedicte & Stephane Tissot Poulsard ‘en Amphore’ sans soufre 2022

13% abv

Vol- 75cl

Destemmed by hand with a 3-month maceration in 420 litre amphorae (above ground) with no remontage or pigeage, then pressed and transferred into demi-muids for ageing.
Deeply coloured, particularly for a Poulsard. There’s lifted strawberry fruit on the nose, a touch of CO2 initially and this will benefit from air to open up. Very good freshness despite the elevated acohol level, this will make for some fascinating food pairings.

“2022 was the first year when Poulsard was over 14.5% alcohol, a sign that the times are definitely changing. The bottled 2022 Poulsard Amphore comes from very low yields that delivered a very concentrated wine. This saw three months of maceration, and it’s definitely a larger and juicier wine, not reductive as usual, impressive, exuberant and sleek. It’s an unusual Poulsard…” 2024 -2028

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!
