Tissot Savagnin "Ouille"

What if the "attraction" to Jura wines was born out of the preservation of traditional winemaking techniques, where Savagnin must mature in partially filled barrels and undergo a long oxidation process that gives it its unique dry, spicy, slightly "tangy" character? Savagnin Ouillé is Stephane Tissot's different approach to the classic Savagnin beyond the traditional Vin Jaune. The vinification method is more reminiscent of that used for his Chardonnays, leaving the wine in the barrel for 24 months and topping it up regularly to maintain freshness and avoid intense oxidation. An expression that highlights the character of the Savagnin terroir without the oxidative "intervention" associated with the classic styles of the region. The aromatic notes of fruit—green apple, lemon, light spices—combine with a sense of minerality, giving clarity, elegance, and finesse to this "magical" Savagnin.
