The product of a small 1.25 hectare parcel on the hillsides of Château-Chalon, this is a wine with great complexity and finesse, offering yeasty aromas of freshly-baked bread. Oxidation flavours are subtle, blending with a pleasant freshness and lovely minerality. This vin jaune is the perfect accompaniment to chicken cooked in vin jaune, any dish containing morel mushrooms or truffle, or even alongside aged Comté cheese.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe domain might still carry the name of his parents, but Stéphane Tissot (and his wife Bénédicte) took over the family business over 20 years ago. In 1995, Stéphane began to reduce the amount of fertiliser so as to pave the way for organic viticulture. Around this time he also stopped using chemical herbicides altogether. In 1999, the then 28 hectares (now 46 hectares) became entirely organic and, after a few years, the whole domain became biodynamic in 2004 (Demeter certification). Stéphane’s hard work has transformed the quality of the grapes. With such good quality fruit, vinifications are relatively easy and require very little intervention. Natural yeasts are used in fermentation and a very small amount of sulphites are added, nothing else. The end result is an excellent expression of terroir with intense aromas. Stéphane’s quest to convey his many different terroirs has led him to produce nearly 50 different cuvées from many different grape varieties using various vinification methods. For example, for the Savagnin, a variety typical of the Jura, the property produces wines with and without oxidation (i.e. topping up of the barrels) and vin jaune. This domain is at its zenith and is one of the Jura’s best kept secrets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tissot","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":46333185163553,"sku":"P-7910","price":134.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0804\/6785\/3601\/products\/chateau-chalon.png?v=1692037597"},{"product_id":"2016-francois-rousset-martin-cotes-du-jura-savagni","title":"2016 Francois Rousset-Martin Côtes du Jura Savagnin \"Veine Bleue de Bacchus\", Jura, France","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrançois first caught the wine-bug growing up in Burgundy where his father was a micro-biologist for the Hospices de Beaune.

Vineyards are difficult to spot as well. An hectare here and there, always on a small scale. Our kind of place.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt's no surprise then that Bugey (pronounced Boo-zjay) is one of the best-kept secrets in France. Mostly this is because what is made there, stays there. With minuscule quantities of production, a somewhat isolated populace, and hordes of visitors year round, the wines of Bugey don't travel far before being slurped with an Alpine meal, or washed down apres-ski.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVines have been planted in Bugey since Roman times, later resurrected by medieval monks, and only recently (2009) been recognized by France with AOC status.

In this manner of producing sparkling wine all fermentation is spontaneous, no added sugars or yeasts, and is accomplished partially in tank at the beginning, but then slowly completed in bottle over the winter and spring following the harvest. The finished wine essentially defines what Bugey Cerdon should be--delicate bubbles that capture a slightly sweet, frothy, strawberry cream soda of a pink sparkling wine. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere's only one way to drink a Bugey Cerdon--ice cold, to start a meal, or to convivially enjoy while preparing the repast.

While Burgundy's vineyards have been carefully delineated over centuries and pricing has placed them atop the most collectible fine wines in the world, the Jura has remained quietly tucked in a sleepy corner of France an hours drive east. Jura certainly has its enthusiasts, but for the most part the wines have been sold in France.

He made it clear his goal was to bring a worldwide awareness to the great, and incredibly unique wines of the Jura.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSeveral properties were subsequently purchased, and organic and biodynamic viticulture was implemented immediately.
