A lovely bottle with notes of salted nuts, yellow fruits, spices, lemon, and a hint of honey. It's slightly salty, fresh without being overly acidic, with good balance and volume. The finish is long, with a delightful blend of floral and nutty flavours.

Guillaume d'Angerville, current owner of famous Le Domaine Marquis d'Angerville from Bourgogne, decided to create a new project in Jura after tasting a single bottle - Tissot’s Chardonnay Arbois Les Bruyères 2005.
I tasted this bottle blind in a restaurant in Paris that I often go to. I always tell the sommelier to give me something blind and the only rule is that it has to be outside Burgundy. When he brought me this wine, I said, 'You forgot the rule, you brought me a wine from Burgundy.' And he said, 'I am afraid you're wrong.'
