“Phil’en Bulle” is quite a wise intro to petillants-naturel – just funky enough and yet so fresh, bright, and a little earthy… Meant for freshness and to add a little fizzy fun to a meal, it’s a perfect apertif wine. A blend of Romorantin and Menu Pineau, an energetic dose of wildflowers and tropical fruits zip along the tongue with a mineral-laden, slightly savory edge. Serve chilled but not too cold; this is a great wine for dinner parties or potlucks, as it shifts magically to complement most any flavor. – Tyler
