Arbois Pinot Noir Rouge "Sous la Tour" 2020 | Wine from Domaine Bénédicte & Stéphane Tissot

The Domaine Bénédicte & Stéphane Tissot, located in Jura, embodies the art of natural wine. Since its inception, it has defended a philosophy centered on respecting the terroir and the pure expression of nature. Cultivating biodynamically on exceptional terroirs like Bruyères or La Mailloche, the estate guarantees grapes free from chemicals. With over 28 distinct cuvées, each bottle celebrates the uniqueness of the soils and vintages. In the cellar, fermentations with indigenous yeasts and minimal use of sulfur enhance this quest for authenticity.

The Arbois Pinot Noir "Sous la Tour" 2020 is an emblematic cuvée of the estate, made from the Pinot Noir grape variety cultivated on limestone plots beneath the famous Tour de Curon. The vinification, with whole cluster maceration, and careful aging of 2 years, give this wine a complex structure and intense aromas. A singular and elegant interpretation of the Jura Pinot Noir.

The color, a deep red, announces a rich and captivating nose, dominated by black fruit aromas such as blackberry and blackcurrant, associated with nuances of fresh herbs. On the palate, this wine is gourmet and structured, with subtle notes of licorice and a firm tannic framework. The finish is long, marked by a beautiful freshness and aromatic intensity.

The Arbois Pinot Noir "Sous la Tour" 2020 is the ideal companion for grilled red meats, lamb chops, or even a duck breast with spices. It also pairs perfectly with stewed dishes like beef bourguignon or a Provençal stew. As for cheese, opt for pressed cooked cheeses like Comté or Beaufort to reveal its full complexity.
