Vous avez r\u00e9vis\u00e9 votre menu de Christmas<\/a>, il ne vous manque aucun ingr\u00e9dient dans le garde-manger pour confectionner vos recettes puis, soudainement, vous vous demandez quel vin servir avec les entr\u00e9es, les plats principaux, les desserts? Voici quelques indications qui r\u00e9pondront, nous l\u2019esp\u00e9rons, \u00e0 plusieurs de vos questions.<\/p>\n

The entrances<\/strong><\/p>\n

What do you serve with a foie gras starter?<\/strong>Traditionally, we recommend a sweet Sauternes, a Monbazillac, or even a Juran\u00e7on. For a more full-bodied foie gras, opt for the spicy side of Gewurztraminer to accompany it.<\/p>\n

What do you serve with a smoked salmon starter? <\/strong>Preferably, a white wine such as a good Cr\u00e9mant de Loire or a Sancerre.<\/p>\n

What do you serve with a seafood starter?<\/strong><\/p>\n

To enhance the salty flavor of oysters, opt for a mineral white. For example, a Sauvignon or a Muscadet. Or even a Riesling, provided you like Alsatian wines. Chablis is a wonderful pairing with shrimp. Pouilly-Fuss\u00e9 is the best choice with lobster or crayfish.<\/p>\n


\nMain dishes<\/strong><\/p>\n

What do you serve with turkey or capon?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pinot Noir brings out the exquisite flavor of grilled poultry skin beautifully. For example, a C\u00f4teaux du Giennois or a Mercurey.<\/p>\n

What do you serve with a leg of lamb?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Leg of lamb (beef, pork, lamb) pairs well with a wide range of wines. For guaranteed success, uncork a Bourgueil, a full-bodied Spanish wine, or even a Saumur Champigny.<\/p>\n

What do you serve with game?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pomerol and some Burgundy wines (e.g., Nuits Saint-Georges) are excellent with venison. With quail, a Saumur-Champigny will bring out the flavor.<\/p>\n

Desserts<\/strong><\/p>\n

What do you serve with desserts?<\/strong><\/p>\n

If your budget allows, a Champagne, of course! Otherwise, a Clairette de Die or a good Cr\u00e9mant d'Alsace. With chocolate desserts, it's best to offer a sweet wine like Vintage Port or a Maury.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
