We kick off with a great classic. A butterfly shoulder of lamb, accompanied by the fruity and intense Côte du Rhône Villages Sablet red from Château Cohola.
The Terrasses du Larzac “Lansade” red from Château de Jonquières pairs perfectly with a smoked duck salad. Freshness on the palate with a nice long finish.
The colourful asian sautéed noodles with ginger, served with a fruity, aromatic Pinot Gris Rosenberg white wine from Domaine Stentz-Buecher in Alsace for your lighter dishes when it gets hot.
Wild sea bass or swordfish accompanied by a dry white wine next to the sea like the Santenay Village from Domaine Chapelle. This rich Burgundy wine will reveal its fresh side thanks to the saltiness of the fish.
A spatch-cooked chicken on the barbecue is perfect with the Santenay “Clos des Cornières” red, our 100% pinot noir from Domaine Chapelle. It’s a nice strong Burgundy with notes of liquorice that goes very well with a tarragon marinade.
Cold roast beef with home-made chutney is a fine match for our Clos de la Bonnelière red wine from Château de la Bonnelière. This refined Chinon wine mixes power and purity to give added elegance to your summer picnic.
And to finish in beauty, what better for the gourmands than a grilled côtes de bœuf served with glass of Château Coutet Saint-Emilion Grand Cru. The fruitiness and light touch of spice of this fantastic Bordeaux will bring out the best in the beef.
