Discovering the wine region of Bugey

Bugey is a wine region in the Ain department of eastern France. The Bugey appellation covers red, white, rosé and Sparkling wines from a range of Grape varieties. The more specific Roussette du Bugey appellation applies to the Rich white wines produced in the region from the Altesse grape. The area covers the Southern limits of the Jura mountain range, which also includes the Jura wine region to the North.

The Rhône River loops around the southern end of Bugey, before flowing south to join the famous Rhône vineyards.
