Bernard Rondeau Bugey Cerdon

We almost didn't get to taste this today, Keith forgot and almost skipped it at the end, but since I pull the bottles for the tastings so I knew it was there. I'm really glad I did, because I was good through the whole tasting so I felt like I deserved a little treat. This is just so lovely, and it's one of those wines you just almost can't bear to spit out, but I did, because I'm a professional. The nose is fruity and pretty, strawberry, raspberry, guava, and rosehips all blend to make a very slightly off-dry sparkling wine that is so approachable and lovely. The palate is very slightly sweet with wonderful fruit and a really great acidity, this is Keith's perfect Thanksgiving wine, but I think for me it's just a banger bottle to share with friends or with no friends and just me and Mr. Tummy. Good boys get treats.
