Still probably the coolest champagne alternative for incredibly fair money! Domaine Pignier - Crémant du Jura: light, heavily chalky minerality, Granny Smith, slightly musty, hazelnut and almond; super tight and focused on the palate, again chalky-salty and with a giant drinking flow. Already one GrapeTimes Classic!
85% Chardonnay, 15% Pinot Noir - and 100% better than many champagnes.
