Tasting profile (AI-generated)
Structure: light-bodied, low tannin, medium acidity, sweet
Cerdon is a lightly sparkling, naturally sweet rosé from the Bugey region made from Gamay and Poulsard using the méthode ancestrale, which stops fermentation early to retain grape sugars and a gentle fizz. Expect a pale pink, low-alcohol wine bursting with fresh strawberry and raspberry fruit, balanced by bright acidity that keeps it from feeling cloying. It's a charming, easy-drinking style best enjoyed young and chilled, ideal as an aperitif or with fruity desserts.
Serving: Serve at 6–8 °C.
