Boudin blanc aux champignons
Soft white sausage with mushroom echoes the wine's earthy mineral lift. -
Saint-nectaire

How to serve Régnié

- Open and decant. Open 60 minutes before serving and pour into a decanter to aerate.
- Serve at 14-16°C. Cellar temperature (14-16°C) is the band for this style. Warmer pushes alcohol forward; colder dampens aromatics.
- Glassware. Use a Burgundy bowl with a wide opening: the bowl shape rewards the wine's structure.
- Pair with. Pintade en terrine, Boudin blanc aux champignons, Saint-nectaire. Match the wine's structure to the dish's fat and salt.
