A pure Chardonnay from limestone soils. It has settled nicely in bottle: the limestone minerality is at the forefront now, the salty finish is more pronounced and the nose seems more complex. The three single-plot Chardonnays are quite similar: they share the house style of purity and minerality and are clean and balanced, with moderate ripeness, at least in the sensation. This is superb and really good for the price. It has a beautiful texture.

About this wine
Benedicte et Stephane Tissot is a family-run winery located in the Jura region of France. Founded in the late 19th century, the winery has been producing high-quality wines for over a century. Their Arbois Chardonnay Les Graviers is a classic example of the region’s terroir-driven style.
The wine is made from 100% Chardonnay grapes grown in the limestone-rich soils of the Arbois appellation. The grapes are hand-harvested and fermented in stainless steel tanks, before being aged for 12 months in oak barrels. The result is a full-bodied, complex white wine with aromas of ripe stone fruit, citrus, and a hint of oak.
On the palate, the wine is rich and creamy, with a long finish. It pairs well with seafood, poultry, and creamy cheeses, making it a great choice for any occasion.
