What it pairs with

  • Steak au poivre
    Structured tannin and dark fruit hold up to pepper-sauce richness.
  • Poulet en cocotte aux champignons
    Earthy finish pairs naturally with chicken in mushroom sauce.
  • Époisses
    Washed-rind cheese's pungency is tamed by the wine's tannin.

History
