Item # 27126 750 mL

Deep, effervescent gold with a fine bead is just a pleasure to look at. A nose of yellow, white flowers, pear skin and fine lees invite tasting, opening to a full experience of tangy light orchard fruit, pollen dust, honey and white pepper on the dry, full palate. Wonderful for celebrations, especially with cheese, warm fish appetizers and vegetable bisques.

Staff Pick Notes

Benedicte et Stephane Tissot have been stalwarts of high-end production from the Jura, choosing to express their magnificent parcels (Les Bruyeres, La Mailloche, En Barberon) through biodynamic practices to ensure healthy viticulture and to minimize the use of additives. Among their many cuvées comes a Cremant du Jura, made up of primarily Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, with small additions of Poulsard and Trousseau (native varietals to Jura). With minimal sulfur use and no dosage, their sparkler comes forth with a richly generous mousse that fills the glass. Mineral driven to its very core, it sports racy acidity and tons of brioche/almond character while having some lemon zest, pear, and grapefruit pith notes. Truly a wonderful alternative to Champagne.

Glossary

Chardonnay

From Champagne to Chablis, it's hard (not to mention unpleasant) to avoid this famous white variety. During a huge popularity surge beginning in the late 1980s, Chardonnay plantings have increased dramatically -- not only in California's wine country, with which the variety is nearly synonymous, but also in Burgundy (its original, Old World home) and just about everywhere else in the winemaking world. It is a flexible, eager-to-please grape, responding well to just about anything a winemaker...

Jura

A 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). The true specialty of the region,...
