2023 Bugey Cerdon

Bugey is located halfway between Geneva and Lyon at the foot of the Jura Mountains, where Alain Renardat Fache and his son Elie produce the traditional sparkling wine Cerdon from organically certified Gamay and Poulsard. Cerdon is produced using méthode ancestrale, allowing the wine to ferment to about 6% alcohol, after which it undergoes a light filtration and continues the fermentation after being bottled without added sulphur. The result is a refreshing and fruity sparkling wine of about 8% alcohol with a certain amount of residual sugar preserved.
