Because it is almost Valentine's Day, because Dry January is already over, or for a thousand other reasons: no matter why or when you open a bottle of bubbles, it's an instant party. Especially this St Martin Brut crémant from Luxembourg, made from the super trio of riesling, pinot blanc and auxerrois. This is a winning team, because all three have their own role in this wine. Riesling provides the tension in the wine, think fresh acidity, brightness and length. The pinot softens the sharp edges of the riesling, giving accessibility and delicate aromas of pear and almond. The auxerrois rounds it out with its subtle creaminess, a spoonful of honey and ripe stone fruit. Let these three grapes age together for 24 months on the lees and you have a bubble that will make you happy. Drink it with the nicest person around or serve it at the table, paired with something salty with acidity, such as oysters, sushi, sashimi, or smoked salmon. Success guaranteed!
