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 great diversity of wines, distinguished by their freshness and unique character. The wines of Savoie are primarily white, made from native 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 fondues and raclettes. Moreover, Savoie also produces light and fruity reds and rosés, mainly from Gamay, Mondeuse, and Pinot Noir grapes.

Bugey, on the other hand, is nestled near the Swiss border and also offers a fine range of products, from vibrant and aromatic whites to powerful and refined reds. Cerdon, a sparkling rosé wine made using the ancestral method, is a notable specialty of this sub-region.

Ideal for both novices and seasoned enthusiasts, exploring the wines of Savoie and Bugey is about discovering hidden gems that surprise and delight the most curious palates.
