What it pairs with

  • Roast leg of lamb with gratin dauphinois
    The Prestige's greater structure and concentration suits celebratory roast lamb.
  • Daube de boeuf provencale
    Slow-cooked beef in wine sauce with olives is a natural match for structured Julienas.
  • Aged Ossau-Iraty cheese
    Basque aged sheep's cheese pairs with the mineral, structured Prestige cuvee.
