Details
'Brisûre' is as much a light red as a rosé, with a complex character that is interesting and hard to pin down. Made from a blend of the rare Altesse grape and Gamay, this rosé has peach and strawberry fruits, but also almonds and nutmeg with herbal spicy elements and a bit of wildness too. It's a smorgasbord natural wine that is such a delight to drink.
Having his own plot of organic vines was Jérémy Coiffier's dream. After a decade-long apprenticeship at the who's who of natural and minimal intervention Chablis winemakers, Jérémy and his wife Isabel purchased a small vineyard in Bugey, near the French/Swiss border. Bugey is a unique region that is most famous for sparkling red than anything else, and provided the vehicle to craft something unique. Nestled at 400-500 metres above sea level on glacier-carved hillsides, the Les Cortis vineyard feels special. Here, Jérémy now farms a unique mix of Mondeuse, Chardonnay, Gamay, Altesse and more using proudly regenerative agriculture, crafting an ever-changing range that typically includes light reds, sometimes rosé and textured and minerally whites. Bottled with minimal interventions of any kind, they're absolutely fascinating, vital natural wines of real crunch and style.

Pairing guide
This fascinating and unique natural French rosé is perhaps one of the most unassuming pairing champions you can think of, with the intriguing tart but creamy contrasts making it a meal in itself. We enjoy it with rustic French dishes, such as cassoulet or slow-cooked chicken, and anything featuring generous amounts of cheese. French onion soup is a winner, and indeed, crepes with lardons are another French hero dish that works wonderfully with this charismatic rosé.
