"Bubbles from Rocks", a hyper-cool crémant for < $20. A skeptic of "natural" wines, this 1 on my shopping list!

Bubbles from rocks. Sparkling pure Saumur Chenin Blanc smells of apple, raspberry, flowers, and a pristine mountain spring. The bubbles lift its wiry structure to balance before a finish of wet stone. Romantic, in the way that hand-hewed beams in a cozy cottage might be romantic.

A nice sparkling chenin blanc. Real bubbles - this is no accidental peteillant. Tons of lemon and acid. Bubbles are a bit strong but quite good.
