Domaine Stéphane Tissot — The Jura in Its Purest Form

A Visionary, Pioneering Estate

Located in Montigny-lès-Arsures, at the heart of the Jura vineyards, Domaine Stéphane Tissot has become a global benchmark for terroir-driven wines. Admired for its precision, creativity, and commitment to authenticity, Stéphane Tissot has quietly revolutionized the region since the 1990s through certified biodynamic farming, natural winemaking, and an uncompromising focus on expression of place.

The estate now covers over 50 hectares, farmed biodynamically (Demeter certified), with each plot vinified separately and each vintage treated as a unique creation.

Philosophy & Winemaking

At the core of Tissot’s philosophy is controlled freedom:

• Native yeast fermentations, no additives

• No sulfur at fermentation, minimal or no use at bottling

• Aging in barrels, demi-muids, amphorae, or concrete

• Wines made either ouillé (topped up) or sous voile (under flor), depending on the cuvée

The goal: let the terroir speak, with absolute precision and no artifice.

Wine Style

The wines are pure, vibrant, and intensely mineral.

• Ouillé whites (Chardonnay on marl and limestone): saline tension, vibrancy, depth.

• Reds (Poulsard, Trousseau, Pinot Noir): delicate, elegant, finely textured.

• Oxidative wines (Savagnin sous voile, Vin Jaune): complex, powerful, and extraordinarily long-lived.

Signature Wines

• Chardonnay “Les Bruyères” – Intense, saline, pure limestone expression.

• Chardonnay “En Barberon” – Elegant, long, mineral.

• Savagnin ouillé “Les Molates” – Freshness and structure.

• Vin Jaune “La Vasée” – Complex, spicy, age-worthy.

• Trousseau “Singulier” – Spicy, sanguine, delicate texture.

• Poulsard “DD” – Natural, juicy, fruit-driven.

A Modern Icon of the Jura

Stéphane Tissot represents a living, unfiltered Jura, where each cuvée is a statement of identity. His wines — both classic and bold — seduce with their energy, honesty, and precision. A cult estate, and a driving force behind the Jura’s renaissance.
