Domaine André et Mireille Tissot
Benedicte & Stephane Tissot Chateau-Chalon Vin Jaune Savagnin
Widly complex, expectedly concentrated on the palate, and super intense on the nose. You could even smell it from across the room. Heaps of nuts, dried apricots, curry leaves, and iodine, along with hints of baked lemons, chamomile, yeast, and vinegar. Huge palate weight with enamel-melting acidity. It was rich, salty, spicy, nutty, and savoury. Frankly, the wine was way too young and certainly “too much” to drink alone, but with some 36-month Comte, it was just magical.

Briney flor juice in a 620ml. Surprisingly light-bodied and energetic. No fear.
