Here is an affordable, elegant bubbly made  from sustainably farmed grapes in the Methode Traditionelle. It has lovely crispness from the Chardonnay and added depth and richness from the Pinot Noir.  No need to save this one for special occasions. You can savor the subtle pear, apple and toasted brioche notes on a picnic with a wedge of brie and a baguette or as a lively aperitif before any meal.
