Bubbles make us happy. Super crisp and naturally sparkling, this cheerful petnat from one of the Loire's young-gun vignerons has the aromatics and thirstquenchability of a perfectly bone-dry pear cider.

Silly good and the price makes it that much better. Nails that curious quinine note that I find in good Chenin pétillant. #cheninagins #pétnasty
