This wine exemplifies precision and balance, starting with a bouquet that initially presents reductive notes. These quickly dissipate, leaving behind subtle hints of canned sardines and unveiling layers of white flowers, butter, and white fruits. This complexity doesn't compromise its charm, creating a captivating aromatic profile.
On the palate, the wine strikes a harmonious balance, featuring a refreshing acidity and juiciness that meld seamlessly with a buttery and round texture, all supported by a solid mineral backbone. It's a testament to the craftsmanship behind it, making for a truly great wine.

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.'
