Varietal/Blend:  100% Chardonnay

ABV:  12.5%

Vineyard:  Domaine Tissot Patchwork Chardonnay comes from biodynamic vineyards at 250–450 meters altitude. The 25-year-old vines, planted with selection massale, grow across a patchwork of Tissot’s limestone and clay terroirs, reflecting the cool continental climate’s influence on the wine’s style.

Cellar: Domaine Tissot Patchwork Chardonnay is spontaneously fermented with indigenous yeast. This vegan wine is aged 12 months in oak, with 10% new barrels, and bottled unfined and unfiltered, to preserve purity and express its limestone and clay terroir.

What the Critics are saying: "The 2023 Patchwork Chardonnay was produced with grapes from clay (60%) and limestone (40%) soils and aged in barrel for one year. 2023 was also warm, but the wine is fresher than the 2022, partially because of the good yields that produced fine-boned musts. The idea is to show the Jura, which is a blend of terroirs, in a white that is tasty, balanced and with a sense of ripe fruit. Fermentation of Chardonnay is increasingly difficult in warm vintages like 2022 and 2023, while Savagnin has easier fermentations. 33,000 bottles produced." 92+/100.
