In the glass
What it pairs with
-
Boudin noir with caramelised apples
The wine's iron-mineral profile echoes blood sausage; the acid cuts through richness. -
Rabbit with mustard and cream
Delicate old-vine fruit complements rabbit without overpowering. -
Hard sheep's milk cheese (Ossau-Iraty)
The mineral acidity of this Morgon works well with firm sheep's cheese.
History
