2023 Benedicte & Stephane Tissot, Arbois Blanc, Les Graviers - Double Magnum

Bénédicte and Stéphane Tissot operate their renowned estate in the Arbois appellation, where Stéphane has led the domaine since 1990 and championed biodynamic farming practices for over two decades. This wine is made from Chardonnay grown in the Les Graviers vineyard, a site characterized by limestone-heavy gravel soils and vines planted between 1952 and 2002. In the glass, it shows clear notes of lemon zest, pear, and green apple, framed by a crisp acidity and a distinct, stony minerality that provides a layered, elegant texture. The 2023 vintage delivered a season of high yields that imparted a sense of bright freshness and linear focus to the finished wine. This double magnum is a substantial, well-balanced selection that is ready to enjoy tonight but possesses the structure to remain impressive in the cellar for years to come.
