Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The vines from the 2012 Arbois Vin Jaune en Spois were planted between 1993 and 2000. This is therefore the lightest of the vin jaune bottlings. Savagnin is a rustic grape with acidity and sugar, and 2012 saw small yields and therefore a very concentrated vintage. This is the Triassic jaune, which shows a little more evolved and open, a soil that produces open wines that are easier to drink.

Description

Tissot Arbois Vin Jaune En Spois is a unique and remarkable wine from the Jura region, an ancient mountain range that forms a natural border between France and Switzerland. This wine is made exclusively from the Savagnin variety, whose vines were planted in 1993 and 1995. The vineyard is cultivated biodynamically, without the use of herbicides or phytosanitary products, and the harvest is carried out manually.

Winemaking

The vinification of Tissot Arbois Vin Jaune En Spois begins with a slow pressing of destemmed grapes in a pneumatic press. Fermentation is carried out with indigenous yeasts in vats, followed by ageing in French oak barrels for six years and three months, without the "Ouillage" (topping up) technique, allowing one third of the wine's volume to evaporate. This prolonged ageing and the formation of a yeast veil on the surface of the wine protect it against oxidation. Light filtration is used before bottling and very low levels of sulphites are used.

Taste

Tissot Arbois Vin Jaune En Spois offers a fresh Vin Jaune style with remarkable crispness. On the nose, it has an oxidative character, with smoky toasted nutty nuances and fruit stone bitterness. This wine is powerful and concentrated, with a distinctive saline and marine depth. The lemony traits lead to a long, penetrating and invigorating finish. The combination of these elements creates a unique and memorable tasting experience, standing out for its balance and energy on the palate, attributes that make it stand out among wines of its type.
