Crmants and company?

It has been awhile since I had to scout out French bubbles to pour by the glass. Back then, I used to think that Antech turned out decent Cremant de Limoux (look for the black label bottling), and that Louis Boillot Perle was a decent Cremant de Bourgogne. Neither producer can be said to be working on an artisan level.

But seriously, forget France. Donati Malvasia Frizzante all the way.

In that case... Frozza, anyone ?

Me, please.

I've had a couple of bottles of Frozza - think it was Brut, but don't recall for sure - and it was crisp, refreshing Prosecco. If it was more readily available to me, I'd keep a couple of bottles on hand as a nice, inexpensive sparkler. If I recall correctly, this used to go for around $12.

Don't know the Donati, but I will look for it.
 
I've always liked Domaine de la Senechaliere, "Chapeau Melon". This could be classified as a sparkling Muscadet. I believe it is now sealed by a bottle cap - used to be a cork. On the Rose front,Jean-Pierre Robinot (L'Opera des Vins)Les Annees Folles. This is a sparkling Pineau d'Aunis and is fantastic.

Thank you, SFJoe and .sasha, for weighing in (despite your chenin-addled palates).

Being only an occasional contributer to this forum, I know not whether to interpret this literally, meaning chenin=less (unnecessary) weight
 
large producer, but i enjoyed the co-op sieur d'arques blanquette de limoux (l'exception d'aimery, nv) thoroughly last week. benefits from a bit of air, fine bead, no flab and no green appletizer flavors either. hard to beat the price.
