Tissot Vin Jaune "Les Bruyeres"

The Vin Jaunes of the Jura are unique wines, almost "timeless," and carry on a centuries-old tradition. Les Bruyères, one of Tissot’s single-vineyard Vin Jaunes, comes from a vineyard with Triassic-era clay soils, a southern exposure, and vines approximately 45 years old. Spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts and aging for over six years in partially filled old barrels, under the traditional voile, result in a wine of striking intensity and complexity. The nose is dominated by nuts, Asian spices, curry, and hints of peat, along with subtle aromas of toasted bread. On the palate, it reveals itself as deep and concentrated, with a distinctive salty dimension, intense minerality, and a long, persistent finish. Despite its power, it maintains excellent balance and vibrancy. An ideal pairing for aged cheeses such as Comté or Roquefort, as well as for dishes featuring mushrooms or chicken in creamy sauces. A wine with rare depth and character.
