Wine Description:
Savagnin de Bénédicte et Stéphane Tissot is a distinguished wine crafted by the renowned Tissot family, continuing their legacy established by Mireille and André in 1962 near Arbois. Harvested Savagnin grapes undergo gentle destemming and pressing, followed by fermentation in old barrels using indigenous yeasts. Maturation lasts 23 to 30 months in ancient barrels, with approximately 24 months spent under the 'voile de flor,' a biological aging process typical to the Jura region akin to that of Sherry. This meticulous process results in a wine that embodies the intricacies of its terroir, showcasing nuanced flavors and textures unique to the Tissot vineyards. Savagnin de Bénédicte et Stéphane Tissot offers a distinguished expression of Jura winemaking tradition, characterized by its refined style and terroir-driven complexity.

Wine Expert Note:

Bénédicte et Stéphane Tissot Savagnin is a remarkable wine that showcases the unique characteristics of the Savagnin grape variety. On the nose, this Savagnin offers enticing aromas of citrus fruits, such as lemon and grapefruit, along with hints of white flowers and a touch of minerality. The palate is equally impressive, with a vibrant acidity that brings freshness and liveliness to the wine. Flavors of ripe apples, pears, and a subtle nuttiness add complexity and depth. The Bénédicte et Stéphane Tissot Savagnin is a wine that beautifully balances its fruitiness with its acidity, resulting in a harmonious and well-structured wine. It has a medium body and a long, lingering finish that leaves a pleasant impression. This wine pairs wonderfully with a variety of dishes, including seafood, poultry, and creamy cheeses. Its versatility makes it a great choice for both casual gatherings and special occasions.
