Tissot Chateau Chalon 2016

Grape: Savagnin
Country: France
Region: Jura 
Farming: Biodynamic

From one of the Jura’s most revered appellations comes this extraordinary Vin Jaune from Stéphane Tissot. Made exclusively from Savagnin and aged for over six years under a natural veil of yeast (sous voile), it develops the region’s unmistakable nutty, oxidative character while retaining laser-like freshness.

The 2016 shows walnut, curry leaf, preserved lemon, dried apple, and salty minerality, all wrapped in a powerful yet elegant frame. Intense, long, and endlessly complex, this is a wine that speaks of patience, tradition, and terroir in its purest form. A benchmark for lovers of Jura wines — and one that will age gracefully for decades.
