Simonnet-Febvre Crémant de Bourgogne (Chardonnay) Brut NV Sparkling Wine, France, $13.99-$24.99, 88 points, poured a medium yellow/gold color with sufficient small bubbles.
Smells were mostly fresh French bread yeasty with only a hint of apple.
The creamy spritz of a Champagne carried rather simple flavors reflective of the aromas on a medium body, but acidity was good, and the overall QPR was impressive.
Finished toasty, yeasty, and bubbly; alcohol was a balanced 12%.
Varietals were 60% Chardonnay and 40% Pinot Noir.
Paired quite well with my buffalo hot-wings.

Sounds delightful...unusual food pairing, perhaps?
