TO ENHANCE THIS DISH: PETIT CHABLIS

To savour this hot starter, our experts have chosen a Petit Chablis AOC for its freshness and elegance. And who says Chablis, says Chardonnay!

Fall in to the magic of Chardonnay with this very charming Petit Chablis.

The wine that we have selected from Maison Simonnet will seduce by accompanying the most audacious mixtures of flavours.

With this recipe combining sea and land flavours, your palate will be pleasantly surprised.

Always very pleasant, this white wine is all the more flattering in 2018. The vintage is favourable to the expression of the fruit and brings a lot of freshness on the palate.

The rich and complex nose evokes notes of white flowers, citrus and minerals.

On the palate, we find the typical aromas of Chardonnay, white fruit and rich texture with a beautiful minerality that persists on the finish.

It will also be perfect as an aperitif with charcuterie or shellfish before accompanying you at the table to savour monkfish medallions.
