Suggested pairings
Pairs perfectly with grilled or roasted red meats (rib steak, fillet of beef), roast lamb (leg, loin) or braised lamb, roast poultry (guinea fowl, duck) and game birds (pheasant, partridge). Also good with richly flavoured stews (boeuf bourguignon, daube provençale) and ripened hard cheeses (Comté vieux, Parmesan) or slightly blue-veined cheeses (Fourme d'Ambert, Bleu d'Auvergne).
