Andre Et Mireille Tissot, Arbois Vin Jaune En Spois, 2014
The 2014 Andre et Mireille Tissot Arbois Vin Jaune En Spois is a highly regarded white wine from the Jura region of France, made from the Savagnin grape. Domaine André et Mireille Tissot, now managed by Stéphane Tissot and his wife Bénédicte, is an incontestable reference in the Jura, known for its biodynamic farming practices since 2004. This particular Vin Jaune is a stylistic expression of the late-ripening Savagnin grape, showcasing the unique oxidative winemaking tradition of the region. Critics have rated this Arbois wine extremely highly, with an average critic score of 92/100.
【Highly acclaimed Savagnin from a biodynamic pioneer】
Tasting notes for the 2014 vintage describe a clear, medium golden color. The nose is clean and pronounced with aromas of pecan, walnuts, figs, cured lemon, yellow apples, flor yeast, and dried aged Comté cheese. On the palate, it is dry with medium-plus acidity and alcohol, offering high flavor intensity and a long finish that mirrors the nose. It's well-balanced, intense, and concentrated, with medium-plus complexity. Some notes suggest a salty lemon almond joy character.
This Vin Jaune is a distinctive and complex wine, perfect for those who appreciate oxidative styles. It's an excellent choice for a gourmet dinner, a wine tasting event focused on unique regional wines, or as a thoughtful gift for a wine connoisseur. Serve chilled, around 12-14°C (54-57°F). Decanting is not typically necessary for Vin Jaune, but allowing it to open up in the glass can reveal more layers of complexity.
Food pairings for this Savagnin-based Vin Jaune include traditional Jura dishes like Comté cheese fondue or Coq au Vin Jaune. It also pairs beautifully with rich fish dishes, white meats, and aged cheeses such as Manchego and Parmesan.
BACKGROUND
Domaine André et Mireille Tissot (now run by their son Stéphane Tissot) is a pioneering biodynamic estate in the Jura region of France. Stéphane is renowned for his innovative and terroir-focused approach. Vin Jaune ('Yellow Wine') is Jura's most famous and unique style, made from Savagnin grapes and aged under a veil of yeast (voile) for over six years. 'En Spois' is a specific single vineyard. This Vin Jaune is extraordinarily complex, offering intense aromas of walnuts, curry spice, dried fruits, and a piercing, saline acidity that allows it to age for decades.
