We'd like to invite you to take part in a tasting of wines that we appreciate and would like to share with you, as we've discovered them on various wine tours with French winemakers.
For the most part, the wines are local wines from independent winemakers, as are all the products in the meal.
A selection of 8 wines, always different, will be offered. We'll explain the choice of each wine, its wine-growing region, its year, and finally why it goes well with a particular cheese. As the tastings are always different, so are the topics covered.
Here's the latest tasting:
Effervescent : Champagne paired with Chaource cheese
White wines : La Fraicheur 2023 early wine from Lorraine and Velteliner 2019 from Savoie paired with local goat cheese
Red wines : Fleurie 2021 from Beaujolais, Crozes-Hermitage 2020 from Rhône Valley, Pommard 1er cru “Les Chanlins” 1996 from Bourgogne paired with artisan charcuterie
Vin de voile (Oxydative wine) from Jura paired with Comtés of different maturities
Sweet wines from older vintages +15 years paired with regional blue cheeses
Local desserts
No need to book a restaurant, you won't be hungry after the tasting.
