Domaine Jean Louis Tissot
The history of the estate begins in 1965 with the division of the Tissot dynasty, with the marriage of Jean Louis Tissot and Françoise Masson.
Jean Louis' grandfather, Albert Piroutet, founded the Société Fruitière Vinicole d'Arbois in the early 1900s (1906) and in 1936 contributed to the AOC Arbois, to safeguard local quality production from the mass production of less suitable regions. Valerie Tissot, today, represents the third generation of the Domaine and manages the seventeen hectares of vineyards spread across the municipalities of Arbois and Montigny-Les Arsures under organic regime. The average age of the vineyards is around thirty-five years and the varieties grown are: Poulsard, Trousseau, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Savagnin.
The domaine produces the famous oxidation wines, including the famous Vin Jaune, Vin de Paille, Macvin, carbonic maceration reds and Cremant Du Jura.
The great attention in the vineyard, with a very low use of sulfur, allows us to have healthy and ripe grapes, where in the cellar it will be vinified in old open vats, where fermentations take place through the work of indigenous yeasts, without stabilizations but natural decantations and limited doses of sulfur before going into the bottle.
