2023 Benedicte & Stephane Tissot, Arbois, Trousseau Singulier - Magnum

Bénédicte and Stéphane Tissot utilize biodynamic viticulture across five distinct Arbois plots to source fruit for this varietal Trousseau, emphasizing the geological consistency of limestone scree over Lias clay. To navigate the cool, vibrant 2023 growing season, the winemaking approach focused on a gentle extraction, featuring a manual harvest, total destemming, and a month-long vatting in truncated wooden conical tanks. This measured vinification, followed by a twelve-month aging regimen in demi-muids with only 10% new oak, preserves the intrinsic tension and clarity of the vintage. The resulting wine is defined by its lithe architecture, fine-grained tannins, and a sustained, mineral-driven finish that reflects the specific climatic and soil profile of the Jura’s Arbois appellation.
