NV Domaine Renardat-Fâche Bugey Cerdon du Bugey - Sparkling Rose

• The Blend: It is made from a blend of Gamay and Poulsard grapes.
• The Farming: The family manages 13 hectares of steep, rocky, clay-limestone slopes in the village of Mérignat. The estate is fully certified organic and biodynamic.
  
  

1. Natural Fermentation: The hand-picked grapes are gently pressed and naturally fermented using only indigenous yeasts.
2. Cold Bottling: At around 6% alcohol, the wine is chilled to slow down fermentation, lightly filtered, and bottled.
3. Trapped Bubbles: The active yeasts continue consuming the remaining natural grape sugars inside the bottle. This builds up natural carbonation and finishes at about 8% ABV, leaving behind a delicate sweetness (around 60g/L of residual sugar) balanced by crisp alpine acidity. 

• Profile: It bursts with bright aromas of fresh strawberries, raspberries, and wild cream, yielding a palate that is delightfully sweet yet crisp and racy. 
• Pairing: Its low alcohol and clean acidity make it incredibly versatile. It functions beautifully as a refreshing aperitif, a brunch companion, or paired with light desserts (even dark chocolate). 
• Service: Serve it well-chilled (40–45°F). Wine professionals often recommend serving it in a wide-mouthed glass or standard white wine glass rather than a narrow flute to let the aromas expand.
