Domaine Brazilier N.V. "Methode Trad" Brut Blanc Sparkling Wine, Vin de France

This lightly sparkling wine is a pure joy to drink.  It's a 50-50 blend of Chenin Blanc and Pinot d'Aunis (a Loire Valley red specialty) grown north of Tours in an obscure wine region called Coteaux du Vendomois.  With a light pale color, this moderately effervescent bargain offers attractive fruit and a very pleasurable personality.  I imagine this will become a favorite sand-by in home refrigerators area-wide.
