Patrick Bottex Bugey-Cerdon 'La Cueille' NV

"Nothing says spring like a glass of this sparkling Gamay. This off dry bubbly with a slightly tart cherry flavor has you going for another sip immediately. Strawberry, cherry and other dark fruits mix together with a slight creaminess that can compliment any light appetizer, preferably enjoyed out on the deck. This will undoubtedly change the minds of anyone who has been hesitant about sparkling Rose and reassure those who know they do nothing but enhance a beautiful day."

"Fruit forward but not actually sweet, this dark pink sparkling wine is a really nice dessert addition. Also a nice champagne substitute for those who don’t enjoy brut."

"We experienced this superb sparkling wine with dessert at Le Bernardin in NYC as one of eight outstanding wines paired and served with Chef Eric Ripert's Tasting Menu. We thoroughly enjoyed it and ordered a case at an amazing price of $18.93 per bottle from Empire Wine. This beautiful end to a 3 Star Michelin Dinner was paired with Grapefruit Sorbet, Blood Orange-Quince Granite. Cameron, the Sommelier who guided us through the wines, gave a unique perspective on this superb wine. We will be serving this at Thanksgiving this year with dessert and loving every glass!"

"Wonderful wine. Had it at La Bernadine as one of their wine paired with an entree. It was perfect and delicious."

"Great wine, great bargain in my opinion!"

"You don't have to pretend to like this stuff. Only the snobbiest of wine and champagne drinkers would be offended by something so simply pleasurable to drink as this is. My only problem is that I have to get from afar. If they sold it locally, I'd serve even more of it."

"Everyone who was not a fan of champagne.....thoroughly enjoyed the Bugey Cerdon and held their glass out for a refill."

"Love this wine. Great summer drinking"

"I cannot write a better review of this wine than the one written by Mike (4/13/2014) with which I completely agree."

"I found this wine to be disappointing based on it's rating. While I thought this would be similar to a champagne style of wine (such as a cremant from Alsace) instead I found it a bit flat sparkly but not the depth of flavor I was hoping for."
