Vin de Paille, Domaine Jean-Louis Tissot

£36.00

A glorious sweet wine that is produced by drying grapes over the winter on a bed of straw (‘paille’) in a loft

Founded in 1969 after the marriage of Jean-Louis and Françoise Tissot, both from winemaking families, this 17 hectare estate is now ably run on lutte raisonnée principles by their children Valerie and Jean-Christophe. The domaine is situated in the picturesque hill village of Montigny-les-Arsures in the heart of AOC Arbois.

The ‘Vin de Paille’ grapes must be dried for a minimum of 6 weeks on a bed of straw to naturally concentrate the juices. Subsequent pressing of the de-hydrated, honeyed grapes elicits flavours of candied fruits, caramel and orange. The fermented wine is aged for 3 years in barrel prior to release.
