| Community Tasting Notes (average 90.2 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 5 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Vstalam on 3/22/2016 & rated 91 points: Made in an oxidized style, with sherry like nose of hazelnuts and a refreshing acidity. Very enjoyable to my taste, but probably not for everyone. (1293 views) | | | Tasted by pcarmich on 8/16/2015 & rated 92 points: Beautifully golden in the glass. The nose is unsurprisingly on rancio, with plenty of walnuts, but a hint of sweetness remains underneath it all. The palate upfront is all walnuts and almonds, with some green apples on the midpalate and finish, bringing refreshing acidity. Beautiful Jura!

Sommelier Journal, July 31, 2011
(André et Mireille Tissot Savagnin Arbois) This vin jaune has a nutty, fruity nose with hints of coffee and lots of complexity. On the palate, it’s fruity, with a tangy, salty finish. Winery Spotlight: André et Mireille Tissot |

2022 harvest: idealwine.info | wine-searcher.comJuraA petite and relatively obscure wine region in eastern France, between Burgundy and the Swiss border. Its geographical isolation has helped it to remain a rare bastion of traditional winemaking techniques, and today it produces some of the most distinctive wines in the world. Reds from the Jura are often light-bodied, earthy, berried, and reminiscent of the village wines of Burgundy (though here they are made of local grapes like Poulsard and Trousseau). While Chardonnay features widely, the true specialty of the region is the Vin Jaune (“yellow wine”) made from the white Savagnin grape. Cloudy, difficult Vin Jaune is made only in the best vintages, and must be aged for at least six years before being released. As it ages under a layer of yeast, known locally as “voile,” the wine slowly oxidizes, leading to complex aromas and flavors that range from walnut skin to sultana to spices and truffles. Famously long lived it is always sold in dumpy 62 cl bottle - the wine lost in production having been taken by les anges.
