Tissot 'En Barberon': a salute

I like Tissot. The 2000 Vin Jaune wasn't anything to write home about, but I would never turn down a glass. The cremants are lovely.

You guys are spoiled. Now that I live in Maine, I'm forced to ride my moose 20 miles just to have my choices limited to Duboeuf or Coffee Brandy.

Even seeing Henri-Marie on a shelf up here would be reason to celebrate.

Best,
Joe

My dislike for Tissot is as much ideological as what's in the bottle. He's the leading modernist of the Jura, and is inspiring a new generation of winemakers to oak their wine in barrique and abandon oxidative winemaking. He's sort of the Angelo Gaja of the Jura. And I'm not cool with that.
 
I've often considered Stephane Tissot to be the Stephane Tissot of the Jura.

That's fantastic news. Quality can only go up.

Good Lord, one's enough.

Brace yourself because Stephane Tissot is like the Angelo Gaja of the Jura: he's inspiring a new generation of winemakers to be Tissotnistas too.
 
Wait...people here like wine?

Not me. I'm here for the quips.

I think 2005 was a very good year for Old Mr.Boston Black Raspberry brandy. You may be able to find some on close-out. Ask an old ice fisherman.

Jura vineyards for sale? I think wine disorder should form a hedge fund and buy him out. Put our money where our mouths are. This is the only board where it might be true.

I was once called the Jamie Goode of the wine Internet.

How many of my hedges do you think it might take, Xian? I've got a boxwood that I'll freely donate. The raspberries ain't goin' anywhere, though.

Isn't Jamie Goode the Jamie Goode of the wine internet?

Why has no one taken up the mantle of the Friday Troll, anyway?

I'm a big fan of Tissot's "Sito Jurrasico" blend of poulsard and cabernet sauvignon, though. Who isn't?

The question is whether Stephane Tissot of the Jura is real or fictional.

I've met him. His real.

There's no reason to hate all of Stephanes wines. There are wines to like. To me it can be very vintage-dependable. Graviers and Poulsard 04 are great wines. The Savagnin sous voile is normally a very good buy. Also he advocates for Jura dessert-wines with lower alcohol, which IMO is a very good thing.
