Description

Tissot Arbois Chardonnay Les Graviers is a pure and elegant expression of the Chardonnay grape, grown in the heart of the Jura region of France. This wine is the result of a meticulous selection of grapes from seven different vineyards, each bringing its unique signature to the character of the wine. These vineyards are planted on Bajocien limestone scree soils, mostly covered by Lias clays, which gives the wine a distinctive complexity and minerality.

Winemaking

The winemaking of Tissot Arbois Chardonnay Les Graviers follows biodynamic practices, with Ecocert and Demeter certification, ensuring a respectful and sustainable approach at every step. The grapes are harvested by hand, followed by spontaneous fermentation and ageing in 228-litre oak barrels, a fifth of which are new, for 12 months. This careful and detailed process reflects Bénédicte and Stéphane Tissot's commitment to quality and authentic expression of terroir.

Taste

Tissot Arbois Chardonnay Les Graviers is a true celebration of Chardonnay, offering a rich and complex taste experience. The aromatic palette is a blend of floral notes, yellow fruits, spices and a slightly smoky touch. On the palate, the wine reveals exceptional richness, breadth and concentration, unfolding over an impressive mineral backdrop that gives it extraordinary intensity. Vibrant acidity and salinity on the finish ensure a lingering and memorable taste, marking this wine as a masterpiece capable of evolving beautifully over time.
This Chardonnay is not only a pleasure to savour in its youth, especially after careful decanting, but also possesses great cellaring potential. It can age gracefully in the cellar for a fortnight, promising to reveal new facets of its complexity over time. Its structure and depth make it an ideal accompaniment to refined dishes, such as Japanese cuisine, curried prawns and coconut milk, snails a la bourguignon, or a classic creamed Bresse chicken.
Tissot Arbois Chardonnay Les Graviers is undoubtedly an exceptional gastronomic wine, reflecting the passion and know-how of Bénédicte and Stéphane Tissot, and stands as a standard of excellence in Jura.
