Bordering the Rhône, between Jura and the Savoie, about halfway between Lyon and Geneva, the Bugey wine region covers only about 500 hectares and counts Altesse, Mondeuse and Mèhode Ancestral sparkling wines as its calling cards. Yves Duport's Celine Rosé, whose grapes are dry-farmed from his and his neighbor's up-to-50 year old ECOCERT vines, belies its dark robe by being vividly bright and lively.
