Benedicte & Stephane Tissot, Arbois Chardonnay Mailloche Size:6x750ml The 2015 Grenache Shiraz Mataro

The 2015 Grenache Shiraz Mataro is spicy and leaning into its meatiness and umami peppercorns

pure and gorgeously long palate staining finish

with this being the first vintage

Here too there is a hint of herbal tea character to the distinctly cool aromas of plum

The wine is absolutely fine on the palate with delicately drying tannin and a very long and silky texture

Benedicte & Stephane Tissot, Arbois Chardonnay Mailloche Size:6x750ml The 2015 Grenache Shiraz MataroThe second vintage of a new vin jaune first produced in 2011, the 2012 Arbois Vin Jaune La Mailloche comes from the same terroir as the Chardonnay of the same name. They acquired 0. 35 hectares of Savagnin in 2009 and moved to organic and biodynamic farming for at least three years before they decided to make vin jaune. Here, I find the terroir character I found in the white wine beforemineral, austere and very tasty.
