Suggested pairings
Ideal with roast beef fillet en croûte, rack of lamb with herbs, roast duck breast with green pepper or shoulder of lamb confit. It also goes well with more delicate dishes such as truffled poultry supremes or forest mushroom risotto. Mature hard cheeses (Comté, Parmesan) or slightly blue-veined cheeses are the perfect complement to its structure and elegance.
