Bénédicte & Stéphane Tissot Vin Jaune Arbois Les Bruyères 2011

Walnuts, curry spice, and dried wildflowers drive the nose — classic vin jaune territory, leaning pungent and oxidative. Big and commanding on the palate, Les Bruyères shows real depth, though the finish betrays a slight alcoholic warmth that keeps it just shy of seamless. Delicious all the same, and in a prime drinking window right now.
