France

Although Bugey may not have the same cachet as a Pinot-producing region like Burgundy, this sunny, mountainous terroir does wonders for the grapes. Opening with pure, direct notes of ripe cherry, and just a hint of sweet vanilla, the palate is soft and lush, with a tense mineral finish and minor tannins.

A beautiful wine to consider next to food, the Quinard will do best beside salty, gamey dishes that enhance the quality of the wine's fruits. Think a seared duck breast with a cherry sauce, a plate of salty, alpine cheeses, or grilled mushrooms with olive oil.
