Tonight I roasted a chicken to go with the produce from the our first
CSA basket of the season. Jean requested a sparkling wine, so I opened:

NV François Pinon Vouvray Petillant Brut non-dosé
nose: initially yeasty, turning more mineral and apply
palate: fine mousse, crisply acidic, moderately fruity, mineral finish

Really lovely stuff, this sparkling Chenin hits my sweet spot (as does
Pinon's '08 Vouvray Tradition). For the price, it's hard to find a
sparkling wine any finer than this.
