DRY WHITE WINE FROM SAVOIE

Tartiflette is a hearty and creamy dish and is the ambassador of winter. Made with potatoes, onions, bacon, cream and the famous Savoyard cheese, Reblochon, it is one of the favourite dishes of the French in winter. Some recipes may even suggest a small glass of white wine in the preparation.

A dry white wine is just what is needed to accompany the tartiflette. For a regional and successful pairing, opt for a white wine from Savoie. The controlled acidity of these cuvées, as well as the freshness provided by local grape varieties such as Roussanne, Jacquère or Altesse, cut the fat of the dish in addition to cleaning the palate. The taste buds are thus awakened and ready for a series of bites! You can't go wrong with appellations such as Roussette de Savoie, Chignin, Chignin Bergeron or even Savoie AOC.

To accompany your tartiflette, Vinatis offers you a 100% Altesse cuvée from the Colombier estate. Fall for its absolutely exquisite aromatic bouquet where aromas of pineapple, lemon intermingle, followed by delicate notes of almonds and honey. Its superb value for money will make you appreciate this sweet moment of conviviality even more around the tartiflette.

RIESLING AND SYLVANER FROM ALSACE

Alsace, with its cool temperatures, is also full of wines corresponding to the profile sought to accompany the tartiflette. Due to the climate, the acidity of Alsatian wines translates into a sharp freshness, perfect to accompany cheese dishes.

Among the Alsatian dry white wines, head for a cuvée made from the Riesling or Sylvaner grapes. These two grape varieties testify to a superb structure, a fruitiness oriented on citrus fruits and peach, to finally offer a minerality that goes hand in hand with the milky notes of the processed cheese. The wine thus balances the dish with its tangy structure, providing a thirst-quenching sensation.

To accompany your tartiflette, we recommend a 100% Riesling cuvée from the Schlumberger estate. This very aromatic wine will align with the aromas as well as the structure of your dish.

RED WINE FROM SAVOIE

For red wine lovers, Savoie offers great cuvées to accompany local cheese dishes such as tartiflette. The wines from Mondeuse, the flagship grape variety of the Savoie region, vinified alone, blended with Gamay or Pinot Noir, have an elegance and a low tannic structure, which allows them to accompany creamy cheese dishes. Light, with a little astringency in their youth, they bring freshness as well as a nice tangy texture. Young, these wines with a deep colour reveal notes of black fruits such as blackberry, blackcurrant or blueberry. The palate is also peppery, spicy, which makes these red Savoie AOC wines perfect to accompany any cold meats, including the bacon of the tartiflette!

After a few years, Mondeuse from Savoie evolve on aromas of violets, raspberries, cloves, with smoky and roasted nuances. They thus offer a beautiful aromatic complexity that aligns with the charcuterie contained in the dish. Indeed, the aromas of Mondeuse echo the smoky side of bacon.

For a gourmet meal, Vinatis suggests you a 100% Mondeuse cuvée whose peppery flavours and invigorating palate will titillate your taste buds! Do not hesitate to savor this cuvée with any local specialty.
