Vin Jaune Les Bruyères

Domaine Tissot

A benchmark example of Jura’s iconic Vin Jaune. Savagnin is fermented then aged a minimum of six years in old barrels without any top ups. As a result, around a third of the wine's volume evaporates and as that ouillage increases, a complex layer of yeast flor forms above the wine, inhibiting greater oxidation and giving the wine its unique and highly sought character. The result is a powerful, concentrated, complex wine with profound minerality and a much higher acidity than fino sherry, showing characteristic aromas of nuts and dried fruit and bruised apple and aged cheese, with ageing potential north of a century.Tissot was the first to bottle single vineyard Vin Jaune. This indescribably nutty, saline wine comes with a dazzling acid profile that frames this pure expression of vineyard and region — this being Tissot’s prized Bruyères vineyard. This bottling is a rare bird and one of the Jura's most sought-after cuveés each year.
