Yves Duport Celine

Gradually over four generations the estate has been built up to almost 10 hectares in Bugey, France, the region. The estate is family owned & uses organic & biodynamic technique throughout the vineyard. They use both traditional winemaking techniques & advanced, more recent methods to make their unique & terroir-driven wines. The Celine has spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts, 40% Chardonnay, 40% Gamay, and 20% Mondeuse. A lovely sipper, this is one for those who prefer something within the spectrum of lighter-bodied red to full-bodied rosé-- call it what you like, but we'll consider this a chillable red! Bold cherry, married with zesty acidity, this one is on the fresher side. Pair with a Mediterranean inspired lunch--couscous, lamb, or with turkey or chicken.
