PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Patrick Bottex “La Cueille” Bugey‑Cerdon is a charming pét‑nat (this is a French term pétillant naturel, which translates to "naturally sparkling") sparkling rosé from France’s hidden mountain gem, Bugey‑Cerdon. Crafted using the ancient méthode ancestrale, it delivers pure, joyful bubbles in a dusty-rose hue .
A playful blend of ~80 % Gamay and 20 % Poulsard, grown on steep, limestone–clay slopes in the high-altitude hamlet of La Cueille near the Ain River
Naturally vinified with no dosage or disgorgement—fermentation continues in the bottle until a natural finish is reached, preserving lively sweetness and light fizz
Nose: Seductive and fragrant—think alpine strawberries, raspberries, rose petals, red apple, and a hint of citrus zest
Palate: Off-dry with energy and charm—bright red fruits (cranberry, lingonberry), light floral undertones, and crisp acidity wrapped in a fine bead of bubbles
With just 8 % ABV, La Cueille is delightfully light, easy to drink, and elegantly refreshing—ideal for apéritifs or celebrations without heaviness
Wine Spectator awarded it 85 points, calling it “lightly sweet, yet balanced by tangy acidity… bursting with berry flavors. A light spritz makes it dance.”
Patrick Bottex’s La Cueille is a deliciously playful sparkling rosé—lively, fragrant, and fruit-forward, yet grounded in terroir and tradition. A hidden French delight that charms with fizz, flavor, and finesse.
Bottle Size: All bottles are 750ML unless otherwise noted.
