Located in the Bugey region between the Jura, Savoie and Rhône Valley, Domaine Renardat-Fâche is one of the leading ambassadors of Cerdon du Bugey. Family-owned and organically farmed, the estate has built its reputation on vibrant sparkling rosé wines produced using the traditional méthode ancestrale.

The Estate

Established by Alain Renardat-Fâche in 1974, the estate now covers approximately 12.5 hectares of steep hillside vineyards. The family remains dedicated to preserving the unique identity of Cerdon, one of France’s most distinctive sparkling wine appellations, while embracing organic and biodynamic farming practices.

Vineyards and Terroir

The vineyards are planted on steep southeast and southwest-facing slopes overlooking the Ain Valley. Jurassic limestone and clay soils, combined with a cool mountain-influenced climate, create ideal conditions for Gamay and Poulsard. The long growing season helps preserve freshness and aromatic intensity while maintaining naturally moderate alcohol levels.

Winemaking

The estate follows the traditional méthode ancestrale, a historic sparkling winemaking technique where fermentation finishes naturally in bottle. This process preserves the purity of the fruit and creates a gentle, delicate mousse. Organic and biodynamic farming further support the expression of the vineyard and the authenticity of the wines.

Wine Style

The wines are fresh, lively and immediately approachable. Notes of wild strawberry, raspberry and red currant are complemented by floral aromas and bright acidity. Light in alcohol and naturally sparkling, they offer a unique alternative to traditional sparkling wine styles.
