Bénédicte and Stéphane TISSOT - Crémant du Jura - Extra Brut
Domaine Stéphane Tissot has become a leading reference in Jura wines for years. Maurice Tissot, André Tissot's father and Stéphane's grandfather, owned 3 hectares of vines (vinified in a cooperative) and 25 hectares of farmland. In 1956, he decided to plant vines for each of his four sons: Jacques, Jean-Louis, Daniel and André. The latter inherited 38 ares, which would become the André and Mireille Tissot estate, now run by their son Stéphane. Stéphane Tissot is a rebellious spirit who appropriates traditions while sublimating them. After studying Viticulture/Oenology, he joined his father at the family estate in 1989. He gradually took over management of the estate and adopted organic farming in 1999, then switched to biodynamics in 2004. Today they own 43 hectares planted with classic Jura grape varieties: Savagnin, Chardonnay, Poulsard, Trousseau and Pinot Noir.
Crémant du Jura Extra Brut is an elegant and chiseled bubble, produced from a careful blend of Jura grape varieties. The nose reveals subtle aromas of fresh apple , citrus fruit and white flowers , enhanced by a delicate brioche touch. On the palate, the fine bubbles bring liveliness and energy , supported by a mineral structure and a persistent saline finish. A refined effervescent, ideal as an aperitif as well as to accompany seafood and gourmet cuisine.
Grape varieties: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Poulsard, Trousseau
