There are 16 units left in stock.
ABOUT THIS WINE
Made in the Bugey Cerdon AOC, La Cueille is a traditional blend of Gamay and Poulsard grown on steep, limestone-rich slopes in the village of La Cueille. Fermentation begins naturally in chilled tanks and is bottled before completion to trap natural sugars and bubbles—a process known as méthode ancestrale. The wine finishes fermentation in bottle, resulting in a lightly sparkling, low-alcohol rosé with just a hint of sweetness (typically around 8% ABV).
Aromatically expressive and vibrant, it delivers flavors of red berries, hibiscus, and mountain herbs. The fine bubbles and balanced sweetness make it perfect for aperitifs, brunches, desserts, or spicy fare.
