A rare Burgundy Sauvignon Blanc, zesty and herbal with citrus, gooseberry and a fresh finish.

What it pairs with

  • Cervelle de canut Find cervelle de canut on TableJourney →
    The herbed fromage blanc sharpens a mineral Chardonnay's citrus and keeps the finish clean.
  • Salade lyonnaise Find salade lyonnaise on TableJourney →
    Bacon, frisee and a soft poached egg find a foil in a bright, saline white that resets the palate.
  • Chablis oysters
    The wine's saline, oyster-shell minerality is the textbook match for raw oysters on ice.
