Domaine Tissot Arbois Savagnin Amphore 2023

Domaine Tissot Arbois Savagnin Amphore is a distinctive biodynamic white wine from the Jura, offering a pure expression of Savagnin through an unusually thoughtful amphora élevage. Made by the acclaimed Domaine André et Mireille Tissot, it combines tradition, precision, and a strong sense of place in a style that has become a hallmark of the region’s most characterful wines.

Tasting Notes
Pale gold in the glass, with a bright, textured profile that reflects both the grape and the amphora maturation. The nose is layered and expressive, with notes that can range from citrus peel, orchard fruit, and white flowers to subtle spice, herbal tones, and a gentle earthy depth from skin contact. On the palate, the wine is dry, focused, and energetic, with Savagnin’s signature savoury character framed by a creamy yet tense texture. The amphora aging brings clarity and a refined mineral edge, while the skin maceration adds grip and complexity. It is a wine with very good aging potential, especially for those who enjoy Jura whites that evolve beautifully over time.

Production
Produced in Arbois in the Jura, this wine comes from biodynamically farmed vineyards that reflect the cool climate, limestone-rich soils, and distinctive terroir of the region. The grapes are harvested by hand, then partially destemmed before undergoing a long maceration: 40% on the skins for six months in underground amphorae and the remaining 60% for three months in above-ground amphorae. The wine is then matured for 10 months in amphorae and pièces, allowing the Savagnin to develop structure, purity, and depth without losing freshness.

Food & Serving
This is an excellent match for Comté, aged hard cheeses, roast chicken, mushrooms, trout, or dishes with cream and subtle spice. Serve slightly chilled, ideally around 10–12°C, and consider a short decant if you want to open up the aromatic layers, especially when the wine is young.
