"Bottex Vin du Bugey-Cerdon La Cueille comes from Bugey, one of the best-kept secrets of France. It is located adjacent to the Savoie region. Cerdon is considered one of three crus within the appellation of Bugey, and the only one whose entire production consists of sparkling wine. In La Cueille, one of seven high-altitude hamlets, Patrick and Catherine Bottex are farming the limestone slopes above the Ain River. The blend consists of 90% Gamay and 10% of the native Poulsard. They bottle this low-alcohol wine using the methode ancestrale which produces a delightfully refreshing sparkling wine with bright fruit, a beautiful rose hue, and a touch of sweetness. It makes a delightful apertif or pairing with cookies or strawberry shortcake."
