Bugey Cerdon Initiale, Renardat-Fache NV (Savoie, France)

The Bugey Cerdon “Initiale” is a new release from our friends Elie and Christelle at Renardat-Fache – made primarily with Gamay, Elie says it reminds him of what the estate was producing 20 years ago: fruity, “glou glou” Cerdon to knock back with abandon. Creamy, round and delicious with aromas of red and black fruits and spice, the wine is sappy and refreshingly sweet with ripe strawberry and raspberry compote in the finish. The 2022 vintage is just beautiful, floral and fresh with a lip-smacking finish – keep one of these in the fridge at all times!
