Tissot Château-Chalon

Chateau Chalon an entire Jura appellation of origin dedicated exclusively to Savagnin and the region's stunning yellow wines (Vin Jaune). For six years and three months the wines are legally matured under the thin layer of sous voile that develops in the partially filled old barrels, giving the world one of the rarest, most complex and distinctive wines in terms of flavours and aromas. The deliberate oxidation is a catalyst for the character of the wine, leading to penetrating and highly complex aromas with very intense aromas of nuts, spices, earth and salt. Stephane Tissot's Chateau Chalon comes from a vineyard in the north of the zone on clay soils and is the apotheosis of the style - a wine almost devoid of fruit characteristics but with an intense dry fruit character of almond, nuts, deliberate oxidation and the characteristic salinity or saltiness reminiscent of Fino Sherry but with a concomitantly heightened level of complexity.
