What it pairs with

  • Roast turbot in beurre blanc
    A rich grand-cru white carries the firm white fish and its buttery sauce without being overwhelmed.
  • Quenelle de brochet sauce Nantua Find quenelle de brochet sauce nantua on TableJourney →
    The dumpling's creamy crayfish sauce meets a taut white Burgundy that cuts the richness and lifts the shellfish.
  • Aged Comte
    Nutty alpine cheese amplifies a mature Chardonnay's hazelnut and brown-butter notes.
