The nose is intense and multifaceted, offering aromas of ripe yellow peach, preserved lemons, toasted hazelnuts, and a characteristic smoky, flinty reduction. On the palate, it is broad and powerful—reflecting the concentration of the 2018 vintage—with a dense, textural mouthfeel balanced by a sharp, saline acidity. The finish is exceptionally long, marked by savory minerals and a touch of exotic spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNotes\u003c\/b\u003e: This unique cuvée is produced from a massal selection of \"Chardonnay Rose\" (also known as *Chardonnay à queue rouge*), an ancient Jura variant of Chardonnay characterized by pink-skinned berries and red stems, which yields more concentrated and aromatic juice. The wine is aged for approximately 24 months in 228-liter French oak barrels (about 30% new) and bottled without filtration. It is a biodynamic wine (Demeter certified) that showcases the incredible potential of Jura white wines to rival the best of Burgundy while maintaining a distinct regional identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFood Pairing\u003c\/b\u003e: Pairs beautifully with roasted lobster, scallops in a saffron cream sauce, Bresse chicken with morels, or a long-aged Comté cheese.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWinery Story\u003c\/b\u003e: Stéphane and Bénédicte Tissot are among the most influential producers in the Jura. Since taking over the family estate in the early 1990s, they have been at the forefront of biodynamic farming and natural winemaking in the region. Their \"Rose Massale\" is a testament to their dedication to preserving ancient vine genetics and expressing the diverse soil types of Arbois with transparency and minimal intervention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Potomac","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50206369644801,"sku":"45376","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0149\/9247\/4212\/files\/DomaineTissot_ArboisChardonnay_RoseMassale_2024.png?v=1787219208","url":"https:\/\/arrowine.com\/products\/domaine-benedicte-stephane-tissot-rose-massale-chardonnay-2018","provider":"Arrowine \u0026 Cheese","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
