2022 Jeremy Bricka Verdesse

Ripe yellow apple, orange peel, and white peach give way to wild hay and subtle honey. The palate is dry and medium-bodied, combining a lightly waxy texture with crisp, driving acidity and a distinctly saline, stony finish.

Organically farmed Verdesse grapes are foot-pressed in a traditional basket press and fermented with native yeasts. Eleven months of aging in neutral French oak demi-muids softens the high natural acidity while building a round, textural mouthfeel.

The steep, dark shale slopes of Isère sit at 520 meters elevation between Savoie and the Rhône Valley. High altitude and alpine winds preserve intense freshness in this rare local variety, giving the wine its razor-sharp focus and mineral core.
