Benedicte & Stephane Tissot Arbois Rouge DD, Jura, France 2023

Arbois Rouge “DD” 2023 is a vibrant, natural‑leaning Jura red bursting with energy and purity. Made primarily from Trousseau and Poulsard (often with a touch of Pinot Noir), it shows bright red cherry, wild strawberry, rose petal, and a subtle earthy spice. Light‑bodied and lifted, with fresh acidity and soft, silky tannins, it’s juicy yet nuanced, finishing clean and mineral‑tinged. Chill slightly and enjoy with charcuterie, roast chicken, or simply on its own—lively, soulful Jura at its best.

"For Stéphane Tissot, 2023 was a very good year for reds. The wines are fruity and clean, delicate and crisp in a style he compared with 2016, even if the growing season was considerably warmer. The 2023 DD, a blend of terroirs, the equivalent in red to his white Patchwork, also blends the three red grapes: Trousseau, Pinot Noir and Poulsard. It is perfumed and attractive, with a distinct note of bitter almonds that makes it very attractive and made me go back to the glass over and over again to smell the wine. It is easy and pleasant, fine-boned, elegant, fresh and lovely, with contained ripeness and 13% alcohol, and it's very pleasant to drink." Wine Advocate 93+
