Maison Bougrier, Vouvray (Loire Valley, France) “Pure Loire” Brut NV

($20):  In addition to still wines, Vouvray is also home to delightful sparkling wines.  Made exclusively from Chenin Blanc, this one combines the subtle fruitiness of that grape with a racy spine of bubbles.  Slighter fruitier than Champagne, but similarly enlivening, it’s a good choice this summer.
