— Food pairing
At the table.
Tested at our own service. Works particularly well with white fish · poultry · shellfish.
Sommelier note
Open 30 minutes before service. Decant for younger vintages. Avoid over-chilling — serve closer to the warmer end of the recommended range when paired with richer dishes.
