Wallflower Voted Prom Queen! Well not exactly, but this unassuming little wine from Bugey, a village near the city of Savoie in eastern France, has caught fire in St. Paul, where she stole the show at the Solo Vino Rose Tent Tasting a couple of weeks back.
The sparkling Patrick Bottex Bugey Cerdon Rosé "La Cueille" (Méthode Ancéstral) is a blend of 20% Poulsard and 80% Gamay (Importer: Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant).
Wine Spectator describes it as: “Lightly sweet, yet balanced by tangy acidity, this is bursting with berry flavors. A light spritz makes it dance. A good party wine. Drink now.” What you should know is that this wine smacks of a wild strawberry and might just charm the pants off of you.
