The Chardonnay Les Bruyères 2023 from Domaine André & Mireille Tissot is an expressive white wine from the Arbois appellation in France's Jura region. The grapes come from the south-facing Les Bruyères vineyard. Heavy Triassic clay soils with underlying layers of blue marl give this terroir its distinctive character. The vines, planted in different years and including particularly old specimens, are cultivated according to organic and biodynamic principles.
Following careful hand harvesting, the grapes are gently pressed. Spontaneous fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts in oak barrels. The Chardonnay then matures for approximately 24 months on its lees in small wooden barrels. This extended ageing process supports its concentrated structure and allows the distinctive characteristics of the vineyard to shine through.
In the glass, Les Bruyères displays a brilliant straw-yellow colour. Its complex bouquet combines aromas of white flowers, citrus fruits and green apples with delicate hints of almonds and spices. On the palate, it is concentrated yet lively, with a smooth texture, pronounced minerality and elegant freshness. The long, harmonious finish highlights its remarkable depth.
