"Between Jura and Savoie, the tiny appellation of Bugey Cerdon — with fewer than 500 acres planted to vine — is the base of operations 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. After 41 years of working for Blanc, Perinet inherited just over a hectare of land in Cerdon du Bugey and decided it was time to change his focus. Only one type of wine is made here: Méthode Ancestrale Rosé Demi-Sec.
Produced via méthode ancestrale. Aged 12 months on lees (which is much longer than the AOP requirement of two months), which contributes more depth and complexity. No sulfur is added during vinification and bottling. Harvest is carried out by hand and the grapes are pressed directly after picking. 100% whole cluster into bladder press, keeping only the core of the pressed juice. The final wine is always a single vintage every year but is labeled non-vintage."
