 30 Second Wine Advisor: Bugey Cerdon - wineloverspage.com
Bugey Cerdon This offbeat red sparkler from the Jura Mountains is best known as a summer treat, but it would serve will with Thanksgiving turkey.
Light and frothy with just 8 percent alcohol, Bugey Cerdon is admired, at least among a smallish cadre of cognoscenti, as an ideal summer aperitif, a quenching sparkler that ranks among the most refreshing of wines.
Today's tasting, a Bugey Cerdon made by Raphaël Bartucci, is a blend of 80% Gamay and 15% Poulsard, an indigenous regional grape, with a spash of 5% Chardonnay to lighten the color and heighten the flavor.

The association "Bonjour Bugey" was founded in 1993 by twenty-some farmers, craftsmen, wine growers, breeders, who decided to promote simple and convivial rural tourism.

 Domaine Renardat-Fâche
The Bugey, halfway between Lyons and Geneva, is one of the tiniest and most obscure wine areas in France.

The Dombes, which, like the Bugey, is in the Ain department, is an area of ponds and marshes, known for its fish and small birds.

One of the big surprises of the last decade was the discovery at Bugey and Fessenheim, thanks to the conformance checks, of structural and design defects in supports for auxiliary feedwater tanks.
Indeed, in France the conformance checks had revealed “a large number of nonconformances” and the fact they have now been largely fixed makes a large contribution to the rise in safety at EDF’s reactors.
Bugey was most sensitive to the risk of blockage of its intake canal by ice crystals, and asked EDF to submit an in-depth study of that risk by the end of 2004.

 Not-So-Happy Anniversary:10 Years of Band-Aid Fixes for CRDM Nozzle Cracking
Workers testing the integrity of the reactor vessel at France's Bugey Unit 3 in September 1991 found something that had never been seen before -- cracks extending completely through the wall of a control rod drive mechanism nozzle that permitted reactor cooling water to leak out.
In pressurized water reactors like Bugey and roughly two-thirds of the nuclear plants operating in the United States, control rods enter the reactor core from the top.
After CRDM nozzle cracking was reported at Bugey Unit 3 in 1991, the NRC initiated a research program to examine the issue for US reactors.
