2022 Benedicte & Stephane Tissot, Cotes du Jura, Pinot Noir En Barberon

Bénédicte and Stéphane Tissot manage their En Barberon parcel with rigorous biodynamic certification, utilizing massale selection and intensive soil work to ensure the vineyard’s inherent identity is fully articulated. Located in the Côtes du Jura, the site’s specific composition of clay and limestone provides the structural foundation for this Pinot Noir, which is vinified with a significant whole-cluster percentage in truncated wooden vats to preserve the aromatic and textural integrity of the fruit. The 2022 vintage, defined by a notably warm growing season, granted the grapes exceptional physiological ripeness while the Tissots’ careful intervention maintained the site's characteristic tension. The resulting wine is built on a framework of fine-grained, persistent tannins and a bright, focused acidity that anchors its mid-palate density. This is a direct expression of the Jura’s unique geological and climatic influence, demonstrating both architectural precision and geological depth.
