Bénédicte & Stéphane Tissot Vin Jaune En Spois 2011

Producer: Bénédicte & Stéphane Tissot

Origin: Jura, France

Grapes: Savagnin

Style:White

ABV: 15.5%

Food pairing:

From clay soils (which are not as rich or dense as those of Les Bruyeres) with blue marl and limestone, this is Stéphane’s most expressive and elegant Vin Jaune.

The high elevated, En Spois vineyard lends itself to producing some of the more textural and nuanced expressions of savagnin where the flavours of curry leaf, unroasted nuts and lemon curd are reserved yet perfectly balanced against Tissot’s signature tight acids and the ‘salty tang’ voile influence.
