Drink of the week: Domaine Andre et Mireille Tissot Cremant du Jura Rosé
It’s Friday, and we think
that’s as good a reason as any to bust out the bubbly! In our current issue,
Robert Simonson explores the evolving role of the sommelier, a role that may be
shifting to a less glamorous but more approachable affair. Today’s Drink of the
Week—the cremant du Jura rosé from Domaine Andre et Mireille Tissot—embodies
this ethos. Crafted from biodynamically grown grape native to France’s easterly
Jura region, it’s a sophisticated sparkler with an easy-going pricetag. We were
first introduced to this budget bubbly by Patrick Cappiello, the
t-shirt-wearing grape geek behind the wine list at Manhattan’s Pearl & Ash
(get more on Cappiello in the current issue), and its bright, fresh fruit
flavors and yeasty richness make it a great match for food, or simply a Friday
afternoon.
