THE MAIN FLAVOUR CHARACTERISTICS


Whether filled with jam or chocolate spread, flavoured with spirits or decorated with fresh fruits, sweet crêpes can be adapted to your taste. Get inspired for a perfect match with these selected ingredients.

A wide range of combinations and flavours are available for all palates. To choose your wine, you can do so according to the flavour characteristics. For desserts, they can be classified as follows:

  • Fruity: red, white and yellow fruits; citrus fruits; exotic fruits
  • Chocolate and praline flavours

RED FRUITS

ROSÉ CHAMPAGNE

For a balance between sweetness and freshness! If you decide to garnish your pancakes with red fruits, choose a Rosé Champagne which will subtly enhance the acidity of the fruits.

Try:

CHAMPAGNE MUMM ROSÉ

WHITE AND YELLOW FRUITS

SWEET LATE HARVEST  WHITE WINE

A round, rich and silky wine with a beautiful freshness and elegance! A beautiful association between richness and finesse for a subtle harmony with white and yellow fruits.

Try:

GEWURZTRAMINER - LES PRINCES ABBES - DOMAINE SCHLUMBERGER

CITRUS FRUITS

SWEET WHITE WINE

Citrus fruits sharpen our taste buds with their acidic notes. For a perfect match, opt for a mellow white wine, full-bodied and long in the mouth. A Côteaux du Layon will compensate for the bitterness and freshness of the citrus fruits!

Try:

COTEAUX DU LAYON MARIE-LOUISE - LOIRE PROPRIETES

EXOTIC FRUITS

VIN DOUX NATUREL (NATURAL SWEET WHITE WINE)

Both fresh and sweet, exotic fruits go perfectly with a natural sweet wine. Muscat de Rivesaltes is one of those wines from Languedoc-Roussillon that are called Vins Doux Naturels. They are obtained by fortification during the alcoholic fermentation stage, i.e. the addition of grape spirit to the must to stop its fermentation in order to preserve a higher residual sugar content. Dense and luscious, it goes very well with fresh and subtle dishes such as exotic fruits.

Try :

MUSCAT DE RIVESALTES - GRAIN DE VIGNE - DOMAINE LAFAGE

CHOCOLATE FLAVOURS

MAURY OR PORT WINE

A combination of fruit and freshness for chocolate pairings! A sweet, fleshy, fresh and fruity Maury or Port with ripe fruit aromas and vanilla nuances will go perfectly with chocolate. Dare to discover these two wines for your chocolate or praline crêpes.

VINTAGE - MAS AMIEL
