2020 Benedicte & Stephane Tissot, Arbois Chardonnay Patchwork - Jura - 5 Bottle (0.75L)

Domaine André and Mireille Tissot is a well-regarded wine producer based in the village of Montigny-les-Arsures, just north of Arbois, in the mountainous Jura region of eastern France. Founded in 1962, the domaine today falls under the management of Bénédicte and Stéphane Tissot who focus on the production of regional wines, most notably those of Arbois, Côtes du Jura and Crémant du Jura. The 43 hectares (106 acres) of vineyards are farmed biodynamically and are certified as such. Chardonnay and Savagnin constitute the most substantial vine plantings, with Trousseau, Poulsard and Pinot Noir making up the remainder. The domaine's finest terroirs of Les Bruyères, La Mailloche, En Barberon and Clos de la Tour de Curon are represented in single-vineyard bottlings. Domaine André and Mireille Tissot's biodynamic vineyard practices are carried through to the winery. The domaine uses natural yeasts for the fermentation of its wines and has minimized the use of sulfur in its cellars. The domaine's principal portfolio of vin jaune and sweet vin de paille wines is elaborated upon further with the addition of the Jura's famous vin jaune appellation, Château Chalon, as well as Macvin du Jura vin de liqueur.
