The story of Jérémy Bricka

It's time to bring the old grape varieties of Savoie and Isère back into fashion, and that took the know-how of Jérémy Bricka. A former oenologist, he first worked with various winegrowers, then co-founded the Hautes-Glaces Distillery in the Trièves, between the cliffs of the Vercors and the peaks of the Écrins: an organic distillery, a rarity in France.
In 2015, the mayor of Roissard asked him to bring vines back to the Trièves slopes. The potential was great but the challenge bold: high-altitude, steep plots that first had to be cleared. With help from the town and the region, he planted his vines in 2015. His first wines came out in 2018 and his first real harvest in October 2020.
His vines overlook the Monteynard-Avignonet lake. The altitude delays ripening and harvests often take place in October, giving his wines great singularity. Jérémy chose to plant old grape varieties: Étraire de l'Aduï, Douce Noire and Mondeuse Noire for reds, Verdesse, Altesse and Mondeuse Blanche for whites. All organic and hand-harvested. True to his roots, he also distils his wines into gin, absinthe and génépi, using plants grown near the vines.

The cuvées of Jérémy Bricka

The Douce Noire is juicy, with red fruit and extreme finesse. Étraire de l'Aduï, an old Grésivaudan grape reminiscent of Persan, is spicy and fresh. His Mondeuse Noire is a surprise: delicate, fine, incredibly captivating, and it can age a while for the patient.
In white, the Verdesse offers lovely aromatics, a silky texture, spice and tension. Jérémy also makes Altesse, Mondeuse Blanche and an Orange Muscat. Several of his wines come from the Pont de Brion lieu-dit.
For spirits lovers, his Gin and Absinthe give the pure expression of the plant: real magic potions!
Jérémy Bricka has won his bet on the Trièves heights: wines from old grape varieties of great precision, showing the richness of Alpine terroirs.
