Stephane’s highest end crémant, this is 55% Chardonnay, 35% Pinot Noir and 5% each Trousseau and Poulsard, produced in the Champagne method. The farming is biodynamic, and the cuvée is produced using indigenous yeasts, fortified with a bit of vin de paille. No dosage nor sulfur is added. The wine is rich with notes of toasted brioche, brown butter and lemon zest; it's perfect as an aperitif but is bold enough to stand up to a meal.

The Tissot family has been making wine in the Jura for decades — Stéphane's father André started the domaine in 1962. Stéphane's first vintage was in 1989, at the tender age of 19, and almost immediately thereafter he decided to eschew commercial yeasts and pursue organic farming (although the domaine has been certified biodynamic since 2004). Chez Tissot, the goal is to illustrate the region's unique terroir, and to that end, they vinify as many as 28 different cuvées, determined parcel by parcel according to the soil. The small production wines are marked by elegance and freshness, in styles that range from sparkling and still to the signature Vin Jaune of the region.
