Bluet Wild Blueberry Sparkling Wine captures summer in Maine with the purity of a single ingredient: native Maine wild blueberries. Bluet Méthode Champenoise and Bluet Charmat Method are bubbly, dry wines with bright natural acidity and may be enjoyed as an apéritif, mixed in a cocktail, or served with food.
Michael and Eric grew up together in Maine and started this whole thing a few years ago with a question: could wild blueberries make good sparkling wine? Along the way, we bought a beautiful oak barrel from Ed, who may be Maine’s last cooper, and asked if he’d like to join us to get stuff done in the winery. And this year Abby and Davis joined us, making the whole thing work better than we ever hoped it could!

And then everyone else who is young or old and aching to be immersed in a place that rises up and floods the senses in its own unmistakable flavor.” read on… or Download PDF

“I like its crispness, the low alcohol level, and the intense blueberry character it offers without sweetness. Seems like an ideal summer possibility for drinking by the water in Maine, actually, which is where I am every August. I think Bluet would also be a great aperitif/cocktail hour drink.” read on…
