The 2011 Stéphane Tissot Château-Chalon 12 ans en Fûts is a Vin Jaune from the Château-Chalon appellation, a Savagnin-based oxidative wine aged under a film of yeast. While the legal minimum for Vin Jaune is six years and three months, this expression was aged for 12 years in oak barrels, giving it a profound concentration and complexity. The 2011 vintage, a warm year in the Jura, produced a wine of significant power. It presents a profile of dried apricots, walnuts, curry spice and a salty, mineral finish.
