NV Domaine Andre et Mireille Tissot Cremant Du Jura Blanc

Around 1,500 cases made, depending on the vintage. Precise, creamy, and genuinely serious — fine persistent bubbles, brioche, citrus zest, white flowers, and a chalky mineral finish that stays clean and focused long after the glass is empty. The NV Tissot Crémant du Jura Blanc is Demeter-certified biodynamic Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Gris from multiple terroirs across the estate — slow pneumatic pressing, spontaneous fermentation in stainless steel, nine months on lees in bottle with a liqueur de tirage made from Vin de Paille rather than sugar, which is exactly why the bubbles feel different here than in any other Crémant you've tried. Stéphane Tissot pioneered the "Indigène" method of native yeast secondary fermentation in Crémant, which takes four times longer than conventional but produces a creaminess and complexity no commercial yeast can replicate — this is the entry point to that philosophy. The best argument for Crémant de Jura on the market, at a price that makes Champagne look like a lifestyle choice rather than a necessity.
