Terrior
Located in the foothills of the Alps in the Savoie region, Bugey-Cerdon enjoys a cool mountain climate that allows grapes to ripen slowly, preserving natural acidity and aromatic intensity. The clay and limestone soils in this mountainous terrain add a mineral edge to the wine, while the cool temperatures maintain the freshness and vibrancy essential for sparkling wines.

Appearance
Bright pink with fine, persistent bubbles, reflecting its lively and fresh character.

Nose
The nose is aromatic and fruit-forward, featuring enticing notes of ripe strawberry, raspberry, and red currant. Subtle floral hints of rose and violet add complexity, while a delicate mineral undertone captures the region’s alpine influence.

Palate
On the palate, this sparkling rosé is light-bodied with a slightly sweet, off-dry profile. The flavors of red berries, such as strawberry and cherry, are balanced by refreshing acidity. The natural sweetness is softened by fine bubbles, and a gentle mineral quality adds structure and depth. Its low alcohol content enhances its easy-drinking appeal, making it refreshing and bright.

Finish
The finish is smooth and clean, with lingering notes of red fruit and a touch of minerality, leaving a delicate, semi-sweet impression.
