FEATURES
The 1993 Benedicte et Stephane Tissot Arbois Vin Jaune is a distinctive white wine from the Jura region of France, made from the Savagnin grape. Vin Jaune is renowned for its unique oxidative aging process under a veil of yeast (flor), which imparts complex nutty and spicy characteristics. The 1993 vintage in Jura saw a positive outcome, with August providing ample sunshine for good grape ripeness, despite September rains. This wine is known for its intense aromas of nuts, spices, and dried fruits. Tasting notes for Vin Jaune often include complex, slightly creamy and toasted notes, scents of white flowers, yellow peaches, apricots, with a hint of wheat, and a tonic, lemony flavor on the palate. Other descriptions mention nougat, caramel, creamy, buttery popcorn, minerals, green herbs, and sexy spice, with a sharp spine of acidity. 【Unique oxidative aging under flor】. This Vin Jaune is an excellent choice for adventurous wine lovers seeking a truly unique and traditional French wine experience. It's perfect for a special occasion, a tasting with fellow connoisseurs, or as a thoughtful gift for someone who appreciates rare and distinctive wines. Serving advice: Vin Jaune is best served at room temperature (around 12-14°C). It benefits from being opened and allowed to breathe, sometimes even decanted, to fully express its complex aromas. Food pairings are typically rich and savory dishes, such as Comté cheese (a classic regional pairing), walnuts, chicken curry, mushroom risotto, roasted root vegetables, grilled lobster, foie gras, and roasted meats. It also pairs wonderfully with chicken in Vin Jaune sauce with morels.
