What it pairs with
-
Roasted pumpkin soup with cream
Nuttiness and spice in the wine echo the roasted pumpkin; acidity lightens the cream. -
Almond tart
Marzipan and toasted hazelnut notes in the wine align with the almond filling. -
Époisses de Bourgogne
Washed-rind cheese pungency is tempered by the wine's sweetness and fruit lift.
