WINE DESCRIPTION
Domaine Stéphane Tissot has become a cornerstone of Jura wines. In 1956, Maurice Tissot planted vines for each of his sons, with André inheriting the land that would become Domaine André et Mireille Tissot, now led by his son Stéphane.
Stéphane, a rebellious spirit, embraces tradition while pushing boundaries. After studying viticulture and oenology, he joined the family estate in 1989. He transitioned the vineyards to organic farming in 1999 and biodynamics in 2004.
Today, they cultivate 43 hectares of classic Jura grapes like Savagnin, Chardonnay, Poulsard, Trousseau, and Pinot Noir. Backed by exceptional terroirs like Bruyères, La Mailloche, Curon, and En Barberon, Domaine Stéphane Tissot crafts distinctive and terroir-driven wines that have earned them a prominent position in the world of Jura.

ORIGINS
Winery: Bénédicte et Stéphane Tissot
Region: Jura
Jura is a small wine region in eastern France, with a unique terroir and a long history of winemaking. Jura is bordered by Switzerland and the Rhône-Alpes region. It is known for its distinctive white wines, made from the local Savagnin grape, as well as its reds and rosés.
Jura has been producing wine since the Roman era, and its winemaking tradition has been passed down through the generations. In the Middle Ages, the region was known for its sweet wines, which were popular throughout Europe. In the 19th century, the region began to focus on dry wines, and the local Savagnin grape became the main variety used.CUSTOMER RATING
