Description

Here's a live one!

It's methode ancestral (Pet Nat) made from Gamay (90%) and Poulsard (10%). A beguilingly fragrant and juicy little fizzer, this is very low in alcohol - the perfect thing to slake your thirst in the heat of summer.

Bugey-Cerdon - a hidden gem of eastern France, and an appellation dedicated to the old-school sparklings, from its rocky, hilly vineyard sites.

    Something for everyone

    Quite sweet but still has a bit of depth of flavour. First tried this at a restaurant with my parents (who aren't drinkers at all) and my parents in law (who have attended many wine tastings), everyone at the table really enjoyed it. Be warned- very carbonated, the cork often pops as soon as the metal cap is removed! My ceiling has a couple of dents in it now. Still worth it.

    Great Brunching Wine

    Relatively low alcohol content. Goes really well with French toast or strawberry topped crepes.

We call ancestral method, the technique that allows make the Cerdon sparkling. Fermentation turns grape sugar into alcohol and gas carbonic; so we use this natural reaction. After harvest, the grapes (Gamay and Poulsard) are crushed and pressed following a slight maceration to obtain the rosé color.

After settling, (elimination of impurities at the bottom of the tank), the juice is put in vats for fermentation; this is spontaneous; there is no yeast. During this phase, the gas escapes at the top of the tank. About halfway through fermentation, the wine is bottled. In the cellar, at a temperature of around 10 °, fermentation resumes in the bottle, naturally without the addition of sugars or yeasts. The gas trapped in the bottle makes the wine sparkling.

After about two months, the pressure is sufficient, the fermentation stops naturally.. The wine is filtered and corked permanently; the Cerdon is ready to be consumed.

Ordering

We want Different Drop customers to always be getting the best price. If you see a lower price elsewhere, just get in touch and we will sort it out for you. We handle all our price-matching on a case by case basis.

Some things to keep in mind: 

  • Retrospective price-matching is available for 30 days after you have purchased from us.
  • The price match cannot be used in conjunction with a coupon or one-off deal we are offering. The idea is for you to get the best price in the market so if that is already achieved through a coupon then we won't price match on top of that.
  • We don't price match clearance or fire sales.
  • We’ll match the listed price as long as it is a legitimate offer and the competing store is actually able to fulfil the order (they have stock or more stock is en route). Essentially we won't price match cheeky vendors listing wines they have no hope of actually getting for you...
  • It must be a publicly listed price. We won't match a price that has been achieved through a coupon/cash-back arrangement, or through a non-advertised offer over the phone or otherwise.  
  • It is limited to a reasonable retail quantity.

We'll treat each price match request on its merit and reserve the right to refuse where we deem fit. For example, particularly rare wines, from non-trust-worthy vendors, in circumstances we deem illegitimate or if we feel our policy is being unfairly taken advantage of.

At the end of the day, we'll look after you and use common sense to ensure you're getting the best price, please just don't take the p%$$!

No, feel free to mix it up! There is no minimum requirement. You can order wines in any quantity or combination, 1 or 50+ bottles.

We stock three different sized gift boxes (single, three bottle and six), all are available for purchase for a flat rate of $8. They look great and make an awesome impression.

To add a gift box to your order, simply add at checkout. The special requests box is your friend, please give us as many details of what you are looking for and we will try our best, or get in contact to discuss it with you. 

If you want to bulk order gifts or if you have any trouble please email hello@differentdrop.com or call and we can try and help.

 

If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
