Benedicte & Stephane Tissot Cremant Jura Blanc Indigene NV

94 pts Wine AdvocateTissot started indigenous Crémant in 2005 and took 15 years for it to be 100% indigenous in the sparkling wine. The NV Crémant du Jura Indigène blend of 2020 and 2019 refermented with frozen juice. One-third of the total Jura production is still Crémant. This is bone dry and sharp, as he doesn't use vin de paille anymore. This is still very young and primary and without much complexity, which comes with time in bottle, as I could see with some older bottlings he opened.
