Domaine de la Dentelle NV Bugey Cerdon Rosé

Importer note from Martine's Wines: Between Jura and Savoie, the ny appella on of Bugey Cerdon — with fewer than 500 acres planted to  
vine — is the base of opera ons for Domaine de la Dentelle. Marcel Perinet began in the restaurant 
industry and rose to serve as director of 3–Michelin-starred Georges Blanc in Vonnas. A er 41 years of 
working for Blanc, Perinet inherited just over a hectare of land in Cerdon du Bugey and decided it was 
me to change his focus.  
Now expanded to six hectares, only one style of wine is produced: Méthode Ancestrale Rosé Demi-Sec. 
Perinet employed his deep experience, strong work ethic, and exac ng standards to create a slightly 
different version of this classic sparkling rosé, one that highlights acidity and balance over sweetness. 
Most producers in Cerdon use predominately Gamay grapes and high sulfur, resul ng in extreme 
sweetness. Since his first vintage in 2013, Perinet has worked organically. The blend, 80% of 100-year-old 
Poulsard and 20% of 40-year-old Gamay, is vinified and bo led without the addi on of sulfur. Instead, 
Perinet has mastered controlling the temperature during fermenta on and winemaking, allowing him to 
produce one of the purest examples of Cerdon du Bugey that we have ever tasted.
