Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The sparkling 2018 Crémant du Jura Indigène is a blend of 50% Chardonnay, 40% Pinot Noir and 5% each Poulsard and Trousseau fermented in equal parts in tank and wood. The second fermentation in bottle was produced adding unfermented vin de paille (sweet) and vin de paille in fermentation (yeasts). This wine is sold without any added dosage and very low sulfur. It has a copper-like color, like a blanc de noirs, and a very expressive nose, very floral (orange blossom), with some vin de paille echoes. It's a serious sparkling wine, elegant with finesse and nuance, nicely balanced and with very small bubbles. This is simply fantastic.

Description

Tissot Crémant du Jura Indigène is a unique expression of viticulture in the Jura, France, made by Bénédicte and Stéphane Tissot. This crémant is distinguished by its meticulous winemaking and the selection of grape varieties that reflect the rich terroir of the region. Composed of 50% Chardonnay, 40% Pinot Noir, and 10% divided between Poulsard and Trousseau, this sparkling wine is the result of respectful agriculture and a focus on quality over quantity.

Winemaking

The Tissot Crémant du Jura Indigène production begins with a manual harvest, followed by slow fermentation in stainless steel tanks at 16°C, and ageing on the lees for 3 months. Malolactic fermentation is completed before proceeding to the second fermentation in the bottle, which starts with "liqueur de tirage" made from fermenting Vin de Paille, and lasts 9 months. This method is not only a sign of Stéphane Tissot's dedication but also brings additional complexity and creaminess to the wine, significantly differentiating it from other crémants produced with commercial yeasts.

Taste

Tissot Crémant du Jura Indigène is exceptionally rich and complex. The fine bubbles accompany a palette of flavours featuring apple, quince and pineapple, complemented by notes of orange peel, salted caramel, crème fraîche and roasted cashew. The crisp minerality and hints of dried fruit and dried honey linger on a long, satisfying finish. This flavour profile, together with the unique vinification technique, places Tissot Crémant du Jura Indigène among the finest sparkling wines outside the Champagne region.
