*Pick up orders are available next day for pick up"This is a benchmark example of Jura’s iconic Vin Jaune. Savagnin is fermented then aged a minimum of six years in old barrels without any top ups. As a result, around a third of the wine's volume evaporates and as that ullage increases, a complex layer of yeast flor forms above the wine, inhibiting greater oxidation and adding a unique yeast character to the wine. The result is a powerful, concentrated, complex wine, with great minerality, much higher acidity than fino sherry, and characteristic aromas of nuts and dried fruit, with ageing potential north of a century.
Tissot bottles without fining or filtration. The indescribably nutty, saline character over a dazzling acid profile frames a pure sense of vineyard and region. This Tissot drop is a rare bird and one of the Jura's most sought-after cuveés each year." - Andrew Stewart, Vino al Vino
