Domaine Renardat-Fache - BUGEY Cerdon - Ancestrale 2023

The 2016 vintage is a great vintage at Château Gombaude-Guillot: it's the first vintage in which the wine is aged in amphora. Bursting with fruit and roundness, it's ready to drink now, but of course it's made for laying down. One of the estate's finest vintages.

The Terre d'émotion range from Champagnes Charpentier is grown using a biodynamic approach and vinified in part in re-used barrels. The rosé, 88% Chardonnay, borrows its color from the meunier. The result is a pale, powdery pink color, a fine, fresh nose of redcurrant and raspberry, and a palate in harmony with the nose, supple and lively on the attack, fresh on the finish, with citrus notes. Perfect as an aperitif.

The Chateau Thebaud comes from 24 months (minimum) of ageing on lees in the cellar, enabling this Muscadet to develop the substance and characters that make it a great wine for laying down. A great Loire wine.
