Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2016 Château Chalon shows the character of the place from early on, even when the wine is as young as this. It has citrusy aromas and flavors, and it's fresh, expressive, floral and herbal, with character, which is incisive and pungent. This comes from Lias soils. Superb.

Description
Tissot Château Chalon stands out in the world of oenology for its exceptional quality and uniqueness, the result of careful winemaking and ageing. This wine, made exclusively with the Savagnin variety, is grown in the Triassic clay soils of the Jura, France, known for their suitability to develop wines of great complexity and finesse.
Winemaking
The ageing of this wine is particularly unique, as it is carried out under a veil of flor yeast in barrels that are not refilled during ageing, which can take up to six years. This process contributes to its distinctive aromatic profile and remarkable longevity. Production is carried out following biodynamic practices, ensuring a deep respect for the terroir and biodiversity.
Taste
Tissot Château Chalon is a true expression of its terroir, offering an impressive aromatic complexity, where notes of curry, spices, nuts, cinnamon, and fruits such as quince and plum intertwine. The minerality and freshness, inherited from the lias soil, balance this richness, providing unparalleled elegance and finesse. On the palate, it is presented with remarkable volume and concentration, displaying an almost velvety texture that extends into a mineral and salivating finish. This taste profile, combined with vibrant acidity, makes Tissot Château Chalon an exceptional and memorable tasting experience.
Meticulous winemaking and ageing, together with the pure expression of Savagnin and the terroir of Château Chalon, make this wine a jewel in the crown of Jura viticulture. Its ability to evolve and gain complexity over time makes it an ideal candidate for cellaring, promising to reveal new facets of its character with each passing year.
