Suggested pairings
Pairs perfectly with grilled or roasted red meats (rib of beef, fillet of beef, entrecôte), roast or braised lamb, noble poultry (guinea fowl, duck) and rich stews (daube, boeuf bourguignon). It also goes very well with mature hard cheeses (Comté, Parmesan) and slightly blue-veined cheeses (Fourme d'Ambert, Bleu d'Auvergne).
