What it pairs with

  • Rosette de Lyon
    Classic Beaujolais and Lyon charcuterie pairing: the wine's bright fruit cuts the sausage fat.
  • Gruyère
    Light, fresh Gamay is a natural cheese-board partner with mild firm cheeses.
  • Poulet basquaise
    Bright acidity lifts the tomato-pepper chicken stew.

History
