    #Muscadet is a bit like #Champagne without the bubbles. Crisp, not too fruity or high in alcohol, with some savoriness from aging on the #lees, a practice it has in common with Champagne. Even the best Cru Communale are still reasonably priced. But start with a classic like Domaine de l'Ecu "Granite".
    If it's the #fizz you crave, less expensive #SparklingWine is made all over #France, usually called #Crémant. Try Crémant d'Alsace, Crémant de Loire, and Crémant de Limoux. #wine

I let the label or specific winery be my guide, but are you in the 'Pinot Meunier' or 'Meunier' camp? Champagne Mousse Fils is a Meunier dominant house ("Deeply Meunier" as their website says), and I dig their wines. #champagne #wine #eventplanning #winepairing #moussefils #meunier
