The Estate
The Domaine André et Mireille Tissot of Bénédicte and Stéphane Tissot was created in 1962 and is located in Montigny-les-Arsures, a small village close to Arbois, the capital of Jura wines. Stéphane Tissot and his wife Bénédicte officially took over the estate in 1990.
Convinced of the benefits of the cleanest possible cultivation, the talented winegrower has endeavoured since the beginning to convert all his vines to organic cultivation (certification in 1999) and then to biodynamic cultivation since 2004, on the 50 hectares that make up his vineyard. The production of his own compost, the use of various herbal teas, everything is done to give the vine more vigour in order to bring out all the minerality of the terroir.In addition to his desire to produce natural wines, far from all the stereotypes of France and Navarre..., Stéphane Tissot's ambition is above all to give his wines their full dimension and to reveal the best of these magnificent Jura terroirs.
Lovers of great Chardonnays are not mistaken and praise Stéphane Tissot's wines for their remarkable purity and precision. The greatest tasters confirm this, in particular the Revue du Vin de France, which now awards him 3 stars in its famous green guide and praises the performance of the winemaker and his complete and coherent range of wines; Chardonnay, Chardonnay, Chardonnay, Chardonnay, Chardonnay, Chardonnay.chardonnay Les Graviers, Vin jaune En Spois, Trousseau Singulier or the brand new cuvée de Château-Chalon; you are guaranteed to taste some of the best wines in the Jura.
