LIGHT-BODIED, DRY, CITRUS FRUIT, FRESH, MINERAL DRIVEN, CLEAN, NO OAK
Bisol Jeio is one of our favorites: it's fruit-forward (but still brut, meaning quite dry) with intense, fresh, citrus and saline notes, plus a fine, lively perlage to top it off. Great for a mimosa or spritz, but also makes a perfect refreshing sip on its own!

Refreshing and chug-able ... a blessing that it's only 8% ABV!
Seriously, though, there should be more amazing, low-alcohol wines on the market like this one -- with juicy but delicate fruit (white peach, yellow pear), clean mineral chalkiness, a touch of sweetness, and super-fine bubbles.

Originally founded in 1776, Champagne Louis Roederer continues as one of the very rare Champagne houses to remain firmly in the hands of the same family, since 1832. For three centuries, seven successive generations have been responsible for building a reputation for unparalleled quality and continuity. Its focus on meticulous viticulture, best demonstrated with an ongoing organic and biodynamic conversion to its vineyards — totaling 593 acres — accounts for the House’s success and enduring excellence, spanning its multi-vintage Collection to the highly prized Cristal cuvée. Remarkably, 100% of the House’s vintage dated wines are estate-produced.
