What it pairs with

  • Salade de gésiers confits
    The firmer structure of this Villages stands up to the rich confit gizzards.
  • Terrine de foie de volaille
    Chicken liver terrine with structured Villages is a classic Lyonnais opener.
  • Époisses jeune
    Young Époisses before peak pungency matches the wine's modest structure.
