What it pairs with

  • Salade de chèvre chaud
    Light, mineral white Beaujolais with warm goat's cheese salad is a Lyonnais bistro staple.
  • Poisson meunière
    Clean acidity and light body complement pan-fried river fish.
  • Asperges sauce mousseline
    Fresh, unoaked Chardonnay is a natural match for asparagus.
