Summary

In this month’s Icon tasting, we introduce the wonderful wines of Stephane Tissot and his iconic Ch. Chalon Vin Jaune 2016.

As well as learning about this brilliant producer, we also consider what the differences are between Vin Jaune and other great flor-aged wines like Fino and Manzanilla Sherry. What makes Vin Jaune unique? What are the differences in vineyard and winery that set these wines apart, and how do you tell the difference in a tasting? Watch here to find out.
