Professionelle Bewertungen

I loved the purity of the bottled 2023 Trousseau Singulier, a wine I had admired early on last year. Tissot destems Trousseau and Poulsard by hand and ferments Pinot Noir with full clusters, and this had a gentle vinification and a long infusion, one month for part of it and up to three months for the rest. He shocked my companions by shaking the bottle before it was poured. He said the sediment makes the wines last longer on the palate. To our faces of disbelief, he jumped out of his chair and into the cellar to fetch another bottle that he uncorked carefully and poured without moving the sediment for comparison. It was unbelievable but true, the shaken bottle had a much longer mouthfeel, while the clean one felt much shorter and the fruit suddenly dropped, while the one mixed with the sediment stayed much longer. According to Tissot, all Jura reds should be shaken and mixed with the sediment before pouring... I liked the 2023 reds and also the whites we tasted from barrel...
