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.
