Fresh and compelling, this Cremant is made method champenois with hints of dried ginger, hazelnuts, quince, and poached apples.

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.

Professional Reviews

Robert Parker

"The current release of the pure Chardonnay sparkling NV Crémant du Jura Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs BBF was produced with a blend of wines from 2014 (75%) and 2015 (25%), partly aged in barrel for one year and then put in bottle in January 2016 and disgorged four years later. It has a golden color and an intense nose with plenty of spices and yeasts, toasty from both the barrel and the autolysis of the lees, and notes of baked apples and a lactic touch. The palate is quite sharp but has nice structure and acidity, and there are plenty of frothy bubbles that give it a creamy texture. This time, I feel more of the effect of the oak aging." -Robert Parker
