Stephane and Benedicte Tissot produce not just some of the great wines of Jura, but some of the great wines of the world.  Stephane comes from a family of grape growers that long practiced organic viticulture, even through the chemical farming revolution of the latter half of the 20th century.  He began making wine himself in the 1990 vintage and over the course of his career he gradually shifted to natural wine making techniques: native yeast fermentation, minimal intervention in the cellar, whole cluster fermentation for reds, little to no sulphur additions, and even using grape juice rather than liqeur de tirage to start secondary fermentation on the sparkling wines.  Along the way he met Nicolas Joly, famed biodynamic winemaker of Savennieres, and converted fully to biodynamic viticulture in the late 90s.  

DD is composed of a blend of Trousseau, Pinot Noir, and Poulsard, the three classic red varieties of Jura, sourced from Tissot's various holdings across the region.  Extremely long and gentle maceration gives the wine this tender yet robust structure of broad tannins. Lively and joyous fruit-- cherry, raspberry, and plum over ferrous minerality.  A deep blend of fruit, savory components, and soil minerality.
