Located in a corridor of vineyards squeezed between Burgundy and Switzerland, and sheltered by its mountain range, the Jura wine region is often referred to as the 5th Côte of Burgundy. With its pastoral landscape and characteristic limestone plateau, it actually shares a similar continental climate.
Founded in 2000, Maison Tissot-Maire brings together two exceptional winemaking families from the Jura region – Maison Tissot and Domaine Maire & Fils. Located in Arbois -the beating heart of Jura’s wine scene-, and highly praised for their quality; the crémants from Tissot-Maire demonstrate Jura’s characteristic profile combining structure and freshness.
Aged for almost 4 years on lees, this Crémant du Jura Blanc de Blancs has an appealing golden colour, and aromas redolent of ripe nectarines and warm bread. Richly textured and creamy, this traditional method sparkling wine has captivating flavours of apricot, vanilla brioche and almond. Gourmand and complete, with a delicious tantalising acidity, and a long finish. Fresh and harmonious, this is an exceptional example of Crémant Chardonnay from the Jura.

French Wine
France is without doubt the world’s supreme wine-producing country, unmatched for the finesse, style and sheer diversity of its wines. France’s revered wine regions form a roll of honour beyond compare. The enduring appeal of France’s classic wine styles turns on the peculiarly French – and often controversial – concept of terroir, the belief in wine with a ‘sense of place’, with flavours and textures.
