NV Francois Vouvray Petillant Brut. Pinon also bottles vintage Vouvray Petillant in good vintages. The wine is a very pale straw color and there is moderate bead activity in the glass. The initial aroma shows a toasty aroma that also contains some floral, musk, and wet gravel. The flavors show a strong mineral core with slight citrus and floral accents. The acidity is incredibly high and the mousse does little to dissipate or soften it. But, then again, I like acid, and in this wine, it leads to a long mineral finish. The wine paired very well with sushi, and in the $10-$15 price range is a bargain when it comes to bubbles.
