Bartucci NV Bugey Cerdon Methode Ancestrale NV

The CSW tasting panel finds this Cerdon de Bugey to be more delicate than the classic Renardat-Fache Cerdon. The nose offers fresh Alpine berries and herbs, and maintains the slightly funky aromas of Gamay and Poulsard, the grapes in the blend. For those unfamiliar, Cerdon de Bugey is a lightly sweet, sparkling rosМ© that is made a bit like a Moscato; fermentation is stopped partway through the process to keep residual sugar in the wine. Frankly, you won't find a more unapologetically delicious bottle. Stock in your fridge and drink on a blanket in the grass in the afternoon.
