With its rich fruit, this is an immediately attractive wine. It shows the ripeness of the year in Saumur, bringing together apricot and cantaloupe melon flavors, the acidity a necessary and balancing adjunct to the full-bodied texture. Drink now, or age for 2–3 years.

Bouvet-Ladubay 1998 Saphir Brut Chenin Blanc (Saumur)
- $16
Chenin Blanc, which comprises 85% of the blend, delivers lovely hay, grass and clover notes reminiscent of a still wine. But there are plenty of bubbles, and the complex palate orchestrates a delightful mix of fruits and spices with a finishing whisper of honey.
