Aromatic and elegant whites, rich yet lifted by fine freshness, with hawthorn, honeysuckle, apricot, pear, honey, green tea, mineral and herbal notes. Fine ageing potential. Key variety in the great whites of the northern Rhône (Hermitage, Crozes-Hermitage, Saint-Joseph, Saint-Péray) blended with marsanne, and one of the 13 permitted grapes at Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Native Rhône variety.
AOC of Ain between Jura and Savoie, 60% sparkling. Cerdon as star: ancestral-method sparkling rosé Gamay + Poulsard, with signature notes of strawberry, raspberry, grenadine, flowers and an English-candy touch, fine bubbles and lightly alcoholic palate — the festive springtime apéritif. Whites lively Chardonnay, taut Jacquère (white flowers, lemon), floral Roussette. Gamay, Pinot Noir reds, peppery Mondeuse.
