This is a living relic from another time, shaped by patience and wild alchemy.
The Grand Cru of the Jura
From the steep limestone slopes of Château-Chalon, the Grand Cru appellation of the Jura, this legendary Vin Jaune ("yellow wine") is the highest expression of an ancient, almost mystical craft. Made from 100% Savagnin, it ages in old barrels for over six years under a delicate veil of yeast (sous voile), which transforms it into something singular.
The result is a wine for seekers: bone-dry and intensely complex, with notes of roasted walnuts, preserved lemon, curry spice, and sea salt. Crafted by Bénédicte and Stéphane Tissot, modern masters of this ancient art, this bottle is alive with tension and history. The finish is eternal.
How to Enjoy
Serve this unforgettable wine just below room temperature (around 55-60°F or 12-15°C). Pair it with the legendary match of 24-month aged Comté cheese or chicken in a cream and morel mushroom sauce.
