If you want to understand the complex world of Jura’s wines, spend a few hours in the vineyards with Stéphane Tissot. Nobody knows the region’s terroir like Stéphane, whose 50 hectares make up the largest artisanal domaine in the Jura. Since taking over the family business in the 1990s, he hasn’t stopped innovating. Tissot’s many wines include some of the most distinct expressions of their local grapes, and many have become benchmarks.
Winos love the Jura for its mouthwatering, Burgundy-inspired whites, as well as its more esoteric offerings. Tissot’s wines cover the spectrum of styles, from the single vineyard Chardonnays that first made his reputation, to celebrated reds made from Poulsard, Trousseau and Pinot Noir, as well as his many innovations - terroir-specific Vin Jaunes, amphorae-fermented reds and a range of remarkable sweet wines.
Whatever the style, terroir comes first. Each wine reveals the unique character of its meticulously farmed, biodynamic vineyard. The entire range is a masterclass in artisanal Jura wine.
