La Mailloche

Domaine Tissot

One of Tissot's most famous vineyards, this incredibly distinct Chardonnay barrels in with a pronounced mineral and spice aroma with a touch of smoke and salt and a beguiling host of unique aromas that are difficult to do justice to with simple tasting notes. Bright lemon and apple with a slightly rounder presence on the back of the nose. The mouth feel is ample without any heaviness or presence of wood. Just powerful flavour and precision. Easily a Chardonnay for Burgundy lovers, but with a distinctly Jura presence that is hard to explain and needs to be experienced. Drink now or age 10-20 years. Decant one hour, serve at 10-12ºC.
