Benedicte et Stephane Tissot Cremant du Jura Extra Brut Blanc NV - 1.5L

91 pts Wine AdvocateThis is clean and with very strong aromas of apples, hints of fennel, and aniseed with very pleasant acidity and abundant bubbles. It’s very easy to drink and very pleasant with a mineral, sapid finish. This has to be one of the best Crémants from Jura and certainly a steal among sparkling wines.
