Arbois
Visit Arbois wines embody the excellence of the Jura terroir, offering a remarkable diversity of flavors, from bright white to structured red, via the emblematic vins de paille and vins jaunes. The Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC) status for the Arbois wines was established by a decree dated May 15, 1936, marking the first time this label was awarded in France. The delimited region for the production of Arbois wines includes the communes of Abergement-le-Grand, Arbois, Les Arsures, Mathenay, Mesnay, Molamboz, Montigny-lès-Arsures, Les Planches-près-Arbois, Pupillin, Saint-Cyr-Montmalin, Vadans, and Villette-lès-Arbois, all located in the Jura.

The terroir of Arbois wines, characterized by a hilly landscape of limestone and scree, is composed of deep, dense, siliceous-clay marls. With 843 hectares dedicated to vines, this appellation is the largest and most renowned in the Jura. Among the region's producers, Domaine Stéphane Tissot stands out for the excellence of its wines from the Arbois appellation.

The 42,000 hectolitres produced annually are divided between dry, lively white wines, with aromas reminiscent of vin jaune, and red wines, which account for 70% of production. There are also vins de paille and vins jaunes, similar to those produced at Château-Chalon. Arbois is also famous for its dry, aromatic rosés, made mainly from the Poulsard grape. In addition to Poulsard, the five grape varieties eligible for AOC Arbois include Chardonnay, Savagnin, Pinot Noir and Trousseau. For more information, visit the Arbois wines website.

"A great Jura wine, an absolute delight for the discerning wine lover!

"The excellent Vin Jaune Arbois 2016 hits the bull's-eye on every level. Hay, dried flowers, walnuts and bread dough mingle with accents of saffron and curry. Full-bodied and concentrated, yet meticulously balanced by sharp acidity, this complex 2016 finishes long and flavorful." (Vinous 2024)

"Taste the typical Trousseau grape variety

"Of the three 2022 reds presented, our clear preference is for the Trousseau, a clear, highly expressive wine with irresistible, piquant fruit, between raspberry and wild strawberry, with no trace of ageing." (Le Guide RVF 2025)

"A beautiful expression of the grape variety!

"Offering a little more substance than the traditional Chardonnay of the same vintage, the 2022 Arbois En Paradis opens with notes of cedar, lemon pulp, wet stones and toast. Medium-bodied and concentrated, the 2022 is a powerful, modern expression of Jura Chardonnay. A sapid finish brings the whole to a close". (Vinous 2024)

"Chardonnay Arbois 2022 presents notes of lemon peel, candle wax and yellow apple of measured intensity. White almond adds nutty complexity. More captivating on the palate than on the nose, the 2022 ends with an elegant, playful finish." (Vinous 2024)

"This Savagnin takes its time before revealing all its subtleties!

After 3 years in casks with regular topping up, this Arbois 100% Savagin expresses itself with notes of spices and white fruits. Citrus fruits such as grapefruit are also present. The finish is fresh and pleasant. It's the ideal cuvée for cream-based dishes or fine spice cuisine.

"A delicate marriage between an aged Savagnin and a Chardonnay, delicate and typical!"

"A typically atypical cuvée, with 80% Savagnin (part of which is under veil) and 20% Chardonnay from the 2015 and 2016 harvests. After a little aeration, the wine develops its bouquet of citrus fruit and flint, with a lovely spicy roundness on the palate matched by a sapid, energetic finish." (Le Guide Bettane + Desseauve)

"A true Jura treasure with exceptional ageing potential!

"The 2016 vin jaune is animated by a smoky character. The material is alert, clear, elegant, rather light for an Arbois yellow, even showing a certain thinness in the mid-palate." (Le Guide RVF 2024). Discover it today, when it expresses youth and exuberance, or wait 15 years.

This wine has a bright, limpid, silvery-yellow color, with aromas of white flowers and quince on the nose. Lively attack with good tension on the palate, pleasant length with notes of dried fruit, honey and citrus peel. An elegant, straightforward profile to enjoy on any occasion.

Savagnin in its purest varietal expression: citrus, green mango, white pepper and peony, with hints of peach and white fruit on the nose. Well-balanced, the palate has a lovely acidic intensity that awakens the palate, with a toasted edge due to wood ageing suggesting that the wine could age...

"The 2018 Arbois Savagnin Ouillé is fabulous. It presents a seductive blend of dried apricots, crushed white flowers and petals, marzipan and chamomile. The flavors are harmonious, with an oily texture and a hint of reduction that adds character. Despite its prominent exotic fruit notes, the 2018 stays fresh and mineral with a vibrant feel that's impossible to forget. Frankly, it's a revelatory wine". (Vinous A.Galloni)

"This is a well-made Chardonnay with toasty and spicy notes, a little creamy, well-textured, more Burgundian than most Jura Chardonnays. The wine is savory and finishes on a saline note, with integrated oak and the signature of a fine winemaking team. (Wine Advocate 2021)

gastronomy

Right from the nose, this is a wine of character, with notes of ripe fruit, bergamot and citrus zest. On the palate, it is dense and full-bodied, chewy, almost tannic. Fruity and seductive notes intertwine to give body while remaining easily digestible. This cuvée is sure to tantalize your taste buds!

"A beautiful expression of the grape variety!

This Chardonnay is generous with notes of white and yellow fruit. The ageing adds roundness and dynamism. Aromatic on the palate, with spicy, softly fruity notes. A must-have!
