NV Tissot Cremant Du Jura Blanc Extra Brut 750Ml Bottle

"Stephane Tissot is a leading light of Jura, where methode traditionelle wines have been made for an eon. This, however, diverts off the path a bit, a blend of 50% chardonnay, 40% pinot noir, 5% poulsard and 5% trousseau – best of Jura stuff, including keeping the marquee grape of savagnin out of the way here. It’s a zero dosage wine too. All of Tissot’s farming is biodynamic. This is a wicked fizzy drink. All the class of upmarket, fancy sparkling from that region northwest of Jura. It’s got rich perfume of brioche, honeycomb, sea spray, red fruits and citrus. The palate prickles with bristling bubbles, shows cut of just-ripe green apply acidity, offers ripe citrus and a crunch of honeycomb. Some oxidative notes chime in for interest, toasty, mealy, nutty. There’s lots going on, but most of all the drinkability is through the roof. Unreal. 94 points" - Mike Bennie, The Wine Front
