History and Philosophy

Founding: The winery was founded by the Tissot family, and Stéphane took over the helm in the 90s. Under his leadership, the winery has made significant strides in both quality and innovation.
Biodynamic Viticulture: Since 1999, the vineyards have been fully biodynamically certified. This means that the Tissots do not use synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers and instead apply natural preparations and methods to promote the health of the vineyard and soil.
Sustainability: In addition to biodynamic practices, sustainability and respect for the environment are central pillars of their philosophy. They believe in minimal intervention, both in the vineyard and in the winery, to produce wines that are a pure expression of their terroir.

Vineyards

Location: Tissot's vineyards are located in the Jura, a region known for its diverse terroirs and unique grape varieties. The plots are spread across the hills and valleys of the region, with soils ranging from limestone and marl to clay and sand.
Grape varieties: Tissot cultivates a variety of grapes, including Chardonnay, Savagnin, Poulsard, Trousseau, and Pinot Noir. Each of these grape varieties is cultivated with care to highlight their specificities and the character of the terroir.

Wine production

Winemaking: Stéphane Tissot is a proponent of minimal intervention in the wine cellar. The wines are fermented with native yeasts and are often aged in a combination of stainless steel tanks, oak barrels and concrete eggs, depending on the wine and the desired profile.
Style: Tissot wines are known for their purity, freshness and complexity. They range from fresh, mineral whites to rich, structured reds and the unique Vin Jaune, an oxidative style typical of the Jura.
