FEATURES
The 2019 Bénédicte et Stéphane Tissot Arbois Cuvée DD comes from a vintage that, despite being globally mixed, produced some brilliant wines due to it being the second-hottest year on record. This distinctive red blend from Jura is composed of 40% Trousseau, 40% Pinot Noir, and 20% Poulsard, and notably, it is vinified and bottled without any added sulfur. Stéphane Tissot is a driving force behind the resurgence of Jura wines, having converted the estate to organic practices in 1999 and biodynamic certification five years later, emphasizing natural fermentation and minimal sulfur use. Robert Parker awarded this vintage an impressive 93 points, with other critics rating it 91/100. Expect a very clean and precise wine with an expressive nose and intriguing notes of cherry pie. Tasting notes frequently mention red fruit notes like strawberry, raspberry, and cherry, alongside earthy undertones of leather, mushroom, and mineral, and hints of pepper, cinnamon, and licorice. It presents a light and perfumed style, with some reviewers noting an initial barnyard aroma giving way to beautiful ripe red raspberries. 【Critically acclaimed (Robert Parker 93 points) Jura red blend, vinified without added sulfur, embodying Stéphane Tissot's biodynamic philosophy and the region's unique terroir.】
