Bottex Bugey Cerdon Gamay France NV

This sumptuously easy-to-drink sparkling wine from the region of Bugey is 90% Gamay and 10% Poulsard. Farmer’s market fresh strawberries and raspberries are backed by candied cherries, grapefruit and refreshing acidity. The wine has been bottled partway through fermentation, re-fermented in bottle until reaching the desired sweetness and bubbliness, then racked off its lees and recorked to avoid further fermentation.
