Bouvet Brut Rosé Excellence

Available at: Foxcroft Wine Co.
Price: $16.99

On the nose: This sparkling wine has a pleasant nose of wild strawberry and elderflowers
On the palate: Light fruit, with a hint of minerality and salinity that keeps the wine from being sweet, and medium bubbles
On the plate: We’d pair this wine with a custard or light, flaky white fish

Our take: This bottle of bubbles from France’s Loire Valley has just enough strawberry notes to add a hint of fruit without taking away from the wine’s dryness. Drinking pink remains on trend this season, and Bouvet’s sparkling rosé is a definite summer sipper with a saltiness that makes it seem tailor-made for the seaside. We’ll definitely be buying this bottle again. —Kristen Wile
