What it pairs with

  • Saddle of venison with pommes soufflees
    The wine's power and mineral depth suit elegant venison preparations.
  • Roasted marrow bones on toast
    Rich bone marrow finds a counterbalance in the wine's acidity and firm structure.
  • Black truffle risotto
    Manganese-mineral Gamay from Champ de Cour has a well-documented affinity with truffle.
