2018 Bénédicte et Stéphane Tissot Arbois Traminer

Although the name "Traminer" is used, this wine refers to the Savagnin grape, a variety native to the Jura. Unlike the traditional vin jaune style, where the wine matures under a layer of yeast and develops oxidative characteristics, this Traminer is produced in a different way. The barrels are regularly topped up (ouillé) to prevent oxidation, resulting in an intense, dry white wine with a fresh and lively taste.
The Bénédicte & Stéphane Tissot Arbois Traminer is known for its pure and polished character, with a perfect integration of its 15% alcohol content, which brings juiciness and body. This Tissot Arbois Traminer is a beautiful representation of the Savagnin grape in a non-oxidative style. With its purity, concentration and perfect balance, this wine offers a unique and refreshing experience for lovers of Jura wines.
