2025, Bugey Cerdon

Bugey Cerdon is one of France's most charming sparkling rosé wines: lightly sparkling, low in alcohol and full of red fruit. At Renardat-Fache in Mérignat, at the foot of the Jura Mountains between Lyon and Geneva, the wine is made from Gamay and Poulsard from certified organic vineyards. The family themselves helped develop the local méthode ancestrale after World War II, where the wine ferments to completion in the bottle and gets its bubbles naturally. The result is a fresh, fruity and slightly sweet rosé with strawberry, raspberry, cherry and fine acidity — perfect as an aperitif, for brunch, fruit desserts or just when wine is simply meant to be really easy to love.
