Food and Wine Pairings
Côte de Beaune white wines pair beautifully with fine fish, shellfish, poultry in cream sauce, sweetbreads, morels and aged cheeses. The reds are ideal with roast poultry, veal, pigeon, mushrooms, slow-cooked dishes and refined cuisine rather than overly powerful flavours.
For prestigious white wines, a serving temperature of around 11 to 13 °C helps preserve the balance between freshness and texture. The reds are often best served at around 15 to 16 °C to retain their aromatic finesse.
