Domaine Renardat-Fache Bugey Cerdon Sparkling Rose

The Bugey Cerdon region in south-eastern France is known for its unique sparkling rosés made from Gamay and Poulsard grapes. This one (a blend of 90% Poulsard and 10% Gamay) is produced by a father-and-son team who follow the technique called "ancestral method:" The grapes are picked by hand, then pressed and fermented in cold vats until the alcohol reaches about 6 degrees. After a light filtration that leaves most of the active yeast in the unfinished wine, it is bottled and continues its fermentation in the bottle. Bright, fruity, and refreshing, this sparkling wine is perfect for sipping poolside with friends. (Certified Organic)
