Appellation Bugey-Cerdon - AOC

The Savoie and Bugey appellation is located in the picturesque Alpine regions of France. Known for its mountainous landscapes and crystal-clear lakes, this wine region offers a diverse range of wines characterised by their freshness and unique character. Savoie wines are predominantly white, made from indigenous grape varieties such as Jacquère, Roussanne (also locally known as Bergeron), and Altesse. These wines are renowned for their floral and mineral notes, making them perfect companions for Savoyard raclette and fondue. Additionally, Savoie also produces light and fruity reds and rosés, mainly from Gamay, Mondeuse, and Pinot Noir grapes.

Bugey, meanwhile, is nestled near the Swiss border and offers an impressive array of wines, from lively and aromatic whites to powerful and refined reds. Cerdon, a sparkling rosé wine made using the ancestral method, is a notable speciality of this sub-region.

Ideal for both novices and seasoned enthusiasts, exploring the wines of Savoie and Bugey is a journey into undiscovered gems that surprise and delight the most curious palates.
