Tissot Cotes du Jura Pinot Noir 'Confidentiel' 2021
$170
This is La Tour de Curon and En Barberon (so 1/2 limestone and 1/2 clay) fermented with whole bunches for 4 weeks, "I love whole bunch because the wine (in the berries) is protected - I love this)" were Stephan's exact words. The process is finished with 18mths in barrel. This is super complex pinot with sappy / patchouli / balsam notes, raspberry, strawberry and dark cherry fruit, some dry underbrush, rose florals and Asian spice. The palate is full, mouth-filling and long, with fine tannins ample enough for cellaring.
