About the Wine

Hedonistic Bugey Cerdon that bursts with strawberry, cranberry, raspberry, pomegranate – just think all the red berries! A bottle that feels akin to adult cherry-pop.

As is tradition with Cerdon, there is a small amount of residual sugar left in the wine leaving it in the 'off-dry' category. This small amount of sugar well balanced with a welcome streak of acidity to cut through the sweetness. The resulting wine is a thirst-quenching, fresh, pop-like sparkler that is waiting to be put in the ice bucket and drunk with abandon.

This bottle also makes a very fine companion to the spicy, aromatic heat of Thai of Vietnamese food, and clocking in at just 9%, we can’t imagine a bottle will last long.  

Made with 80% Gamay and 20% Poulsard, the grapes are hand-harvested then pressed directly. The juice undergoes a long 2-month fermentation in stainless steel, bringing out maximum fruit. The juice is then completes its fermentation in bottle – pet-nat style!

About La Cuverie

At La Cuverie, Aurelien Beyeklian stands for a natural, humble, and friendly approach to wine with determination and passion. After a first professional career around the world with the Red Cross, he decided, at 40, to start all over again! A few essential encounters (apprenticeship with the Bret brothers in Vinzelles), the need of a different life and the conviction that Bugey is home of wonderful wines: this is what pushed him to become winemaker. There is no use of any chemicals, all work is carried out manually. Horses are used for ploughing and sheep are used between the vines. Certified organic, but converting to Biodynamics, all in a Permaculture environment.
