Tissot Estate – The Purest Expression of Arbois Terroir

An Iconic Estate in Jura

Located in Arbois, Tissot Estate is one of the most prestigious names in Jura winemaking. Led by Stéphane Tissot, this family-run estate has gained worldwide recognition for its commitment to biodynamics and relentless pursuit of excellence. Through a deep respect for nature and precise winemaking, Tissot Estate produces pure, vibrant wines that faithfully reflect their terroir.

An Exceptional Terroir Cultivated with Biodynamics

The vineyards of Tissot Estate cover around 40 hectares across the finest terroirs of Arbois and Côtes du Jura. The marl, limestone, and clay soils contribute remarkable richness and minerality to the wines. Practicing biodynamic farming for over two decades, the estate nurtures soil vitality, allowing Jura’s signature grape varieties—Chardonnay, Savagnin, Poulsard, Trousseau, and Pinot Noir—to express themselves fully.

Natural and Meticulous Winemaking

Stéphane Tissot follows a non-interventionist approach in the cellar, allowing each cuvée to showcase its origin. Fermentations occur with native yeasts, with no added enological inputs. Aging takes place in barrels, amphorae, or tanks, depending on the wine’s profile, with minimal sulfur use. This philosophy results in precise, living wines with incredible depth and energy.

Wines of Remarkable Intensity and Elegance

The estate’s white wines, made from Chardonnay and Savagnin, are distinguished by their vibrant minerality and complex aromas of dried fruits, citrus, and flinty notes. Tissot Estate’s renowned Vin Jaune is a benchmark, offering a unique aromatic spectrum of walnuts, curry, and spice. The reds, crafted from Poulsard, Trousseau, and Pinot Noir, captivate with their finesse and flavors of red berries, spice, and forest floor.
