SAVOURY COURGETTE CLAFOUTIS, A DISH COMBINING SWEETNESS AND VIVACITY

Clafoutis is one of the classics of grandma's cooking and can be made in an infinite number of ways, even in a savoury version. We propose you a savoury version, with a summer vegetable: courgette. With a melting texture and a sweet and fine flavour, their slices are covered with a soft creaminess. This clafoutis is also enhanced by slices of goat's cheese, which is distinguished by its marked acidity and its frank taste, which enhances the flavour of the courgettes. The walnuts bring roundness while balancing the acidity conferred by the cheese to this dish served as a hot starter. Finally, the basil and parsley add a freshness to this dish.

For a great tasting experience, choose the right wine to enhance this courgette clafoutis. Opt for a wine with a lively character that matches the acidity of the goat's cheese. An intense bouquet and freshness are also necessary to enhance the taste of this dish.

FINESSE OF SAUVIGNON BLANC TO PAIR WITH THE DISH

To accompany this courgette clafoutis, forget wines with too much tannin, which will be tightened by the lactic ferments and milk proteins of the goat's cheese. This will produce a raspy effect on the palate. Tannic and structured wines will also overwhelm the flavours and substance of the food on the palate. Our wine experts suggest a dry white wine to accompany this dish, which has particularly nuanced aromas and a delicate structure.

Vinatis recommends a wine with a light alcohol content and freshness such as a Sauvignon Blanc from the Bordeaux AOC. The geographical location of the terroir near the ocean gives iodine notes revealing the goat cheese in its best light. The finesse of this wine will also enhance the sweetness of the courgettes and the delicacy of the dish as a whole. Thanks to its aromatic power, Sauvignon is the perfect accompaniment to inventive cuisine such as this savoury clafoutis. Moreover, this wine enhances this dish with its freshness, which underlines the taste of parsley and basil.

TO ENHANCE THIS DISH:

DOURTHE NUMÉRO 1 BLANC

Supple and fruity, the Dourthe Numéro 1 Blanc has a great aromatic richness. It goes perfectly with a courgette clafoutis. With its greenish-gold colour, this white Bordeaux reveals citrus and passion fruit aromas that bring a nice freshness contrasting with the melting and unctuous texture of this dish. The wine and the dish reinforce and enhance each other. The palate is lively with complex floral notes, which pairs well with parsley and basil. This wine has a long and persistent finish.

The pioneer of a new generation of great dry white wines from Bordeaux, Dourthe Numéro 1 Blanc is a single-varietal wine made entirely from Sauvignon Blanc. One of the most widely planted grapes in the world, this grape variety brings a remarkable aromatic power to dry white wines. Thanks to its high acidity, Sauvignon Blanc gives a pleasant freshness.
