What it pairs with
-
Braised short ribs
The wine's concentration and firm structure match slow-braised beef. -
Aged Epoisses cheese
Powerful washed-rind cheese needs a wine with structure and acidity to balance. -
Venison loin with mushroom sauce
The earthy, dark-fruited character of Eponym pairs naturally with venison.
