Domaine Andre et Mireille Tissot (Benedicte et Stephane Tissot), Arbois Chardonnay 'Patchwork', 2024
The Jura's calling card is the oxidative style, but Stephane Tissot builds his Chardonnays the other way, topped up and reductive so the fruit stays vivid, and 'Patchwork' is the easiest, friendliest door into his world. As the name promises, it's a patchwork of parcels in and around Arbois, drawn from clay and limestone and blended into a spicy, mineral white that plays like affordable white Burgundy. It's biodynamically farmed by one of France's most gifted vignerons, and it drinks well now. The 2024 is bright, energetic, and dangerously easy to keep pouring. Start here, then work your way up the range.
