Bénédicte & Stéphane Tissot Les Bruyeres Chardonnay

93-96/100 PP Even the 2018 Les Bruyères Chardonnay was still unbottled and in barrel, and it displays a little higher volatile acidity after a long élevage. It has very chalky tannins and a different personality after the long time in barrel, a path Tissot wants to go whenever possible. The visit with hyperactive Stéphane Tissot is always one of the most interesting, fun and informative events during my visits to the Jura. It often involves a running tour of the vineyards, a very complete explanation of the Jura geology (I shall video him one of these years), a barrel tasting through the maze of cellars in Montigny, with me following him glass in hand trying to keep up with his speed and scribbling unreadable stuff in my notebook, a long sit-down tasting in their tasting room, where he doesn't want me to use a computer or any network because he doesn't want technology to disturb their wines, and a final sprint to be able to catch up before my next appointment (no matter how much time I allocate to him!), often nibbling on some Comté cheese and charcuterie to recharge the batteries (I'm exhausted after him, and I don't want to reveal who was my following appointment!) as I give my final sniff to a complete flight of terroir Vin Jaunes that I'd would love to follow for a week rather than at the end of a six-hour marathon... But that's what tasting with Tissot is like—above all, a lot of FUN! (Luis Gutiérrez, robertparker.com)
