Classic Pairings

  • Roast rack of lamb with herbs – the tannins wrap beautifully around the juicy, savory richness.

  • Duck breast with blackcurrant reduction – the fruit-driven sauce mirrors the wine’s cassis and dark berry profile.

  • Beef Wellington – buttery pastry, mushroom duxelles, and tender beef highlight the wine’s structure and length.

Cheese Pairings

  • Aged Comté or Beaufort – nutty, firm Alpine cheeses complement the wine’s minerality.

  • Brillat-Savarin or other triple-cream cheeses – the lush texture balances the firm tannins.

Elegant Alternatives

  • Wild mushroom risotto with truffle oil – the earthy, savory character plays with the graphite and floral notes.

  • Roast venison with juniper and herbs – an elevated game dish that reflects the wine’s complexity and spice.
