Arbois AOC Chardonnay Les Bruyères 2020 Domaine A. & M. Tissot

The Chardonnay Les Bruyères is produced by Domaine André et Mireille Tissot, located in Montigny Les Arsures, in the Jura region. The winery was founded in 1962 by André and Mireille and is now managed by their son Stéphane Tissot and his wife Bénédicte, who cultivate the 35 hectares of vineyards following the principles of biodynamic agriculture. All the wines of the Domaine have a low dose of added sulphites, compared to the average of most wines.

It consists exclusively of Chardonnay grapes, which are pressed with stalks. The fermentation is spontaneous, only with indigenous yeasts of the grapes, and is held in 228l oak barrels, of which 15% are new. The wine ages in them for 24 months.

Golden yellow in color, it expresses aromas of ripe fruit on the nose such as plums and golden apples and notes of sweet spices. The sip is dry and ample, with a savory and persistent finish.

It goes well with white meats, shellfish and tasty fish.
