Bugey Extra Dry Rosé Méthode Traditionelle

Varietals
Gamay, Mondeuse

Notes
VINEYARD: Mataret, a vineyard site once known for making legendary wines. Three hectares of clay calcareous soils with veins of shale facing southwest, at 350m elevation, and over-looking the village, this site had been completely abandoned and was covered in chestnut trees and dense brush when Thierry set his mind to making great wines here again. He cleared the hillside and planted it with Altesse and Mondeuse, two indigenous varietals in which he has great faith. Though the vines are still young, the wines produced from this site already show great depth and complexity. The potential here is tremen-dous.Two hectares of Gamay, Jacquère, and Chardonnay scattered around the village complete the winery’s holdings.

VINIFICATION: Méthode traditionelle sparkling wine aged on fine lees for 16 - 18 months. Practicing organic viticulture.

TASTING NOTES: Compelling and fresh, this wine is redolent of grapefruit and red berries.
