De Chanceny N/V Crémant de Loire Rosé Brut, France ($24.99, #15727)

A new arrival to our shelves, this salmonhued and tiny-bubbled sparkler hails from France’s Loire Valley. Mineral and berry aromas set the stage before a fruity but fresh mid-palate and smooth finish. Your date might not care, but you can also mention that De Chanceny Rosé Brut is made from 100 per cent Cabernet Franc that is aged 12 months in rock-hewn cellars dug into limestone way back in the 12th century! Which is a perfect setup for popping the cork on this bottle while telling your Valentine that your love is rock solid.

Bottom line: B “Pretty in sparkling pink.”
