Domaine Renardat Fache Alain - Cerdon Bugey Ancestral Method Rosé
The Cerdon du Bugey Ancestral Method Rosé from Domaine Renardat-Fache is one of the most emblematic expressions of this historic Bugey appellation. The family estate is located in Mérignat, in the Ain department, at the heart of the Cerdon du Bugey appellation area, and is currently run by Alain Renardat-Fache, a key figure in the region. The vineyard is worked according to the principles of organic viticulture, a strong and consistent commitment of the estate, recognized for the regularity and precision of its sparkling wines. This cuvée is made according to the ancestral method, the signature of Cerdon, which relies on a single fermentation naturally interrupted and then completed in the bottle. It embodies an authentic style, faithful to the local history and the limestone and steep terroir of Bugey. This sparkling rosé wine has become an essential reference of the appellation. It seduces with its balance between indulgence, freshness, and finesse.
The nose is immediately charming, carried by expressive aromas of fresh red fruits, evoking strawberry, raspberry, and redcurrant. Upon aeration, delicate floral notes appear, bringing lightness and elegance to the whole. On the palate, the attack is soft and silky, marked by a fine and naturally integrated effervescence. The residual sweetness, coming from the ancestral fermentation, is perfectly balanced by a beautiful natural acidity. The fruit remains crisp and precise, without heaviness. The texture is airy, indulgent, and very digestible. The finish is fresh, delicately fruity, and particularly thirst-quenching.
This Cerdon du Bugey Ancestral Method Rosé is ideally enjoyed young to fully appreciate its aromatic brightness and freshness. It perfectly accompanies red fruit desserts but can also be appreciated as an aperitif or during festive moments. This cuvée illustrates the unique know-how of Domaine Renardat-Fache in the production of natural sparkling wines, precise and faithful to their terroir. It establishes itself as a reference of Cerdon, as accessible as it is authentic. A joyful, indulgent, and identity-rich wine. An emblematic expression of Bugey.
