Sancerre is the answer
Let’s celebrate the first day of spring with a sharp burst of flavours.
Head Chef, Marcus Verberne and his team have introduced a fish main course around Peterhead cod, lobster, tarragon and barbe de frate.
It’s all is in the balance
This is an equilibrist exercise achieved by Marcus and his team. They’ve managed to balance the vivid bitter-sweet anise flavours of tarragon, the coarser malty lobster, the rounder succulent cod, and the crunchy salty barbe.
Now the challenge is for our Sommeliers to bring a wine pairing which will perfectly complements this flavoursome creation!
So we’ve put Terry, our expert Head Sommelier, on the job. Now it’s your turn to taste and share your thoughts…
Wine Pairing
Terry, our Head Sommelier suggests:
2015 Sancerre, Les Caillottes, François Cotat @ £11.00 per glass
‘Les Caillottes’ (little stones) is a pure, refined and slightly more classic expression of Sauvignon from the foothills of the Les Montes Damnes vineyard; with notes of freshly cut grass and lively citrus fruit that matches so well the tarragon notes of the dish, the delicate aromatics simply shine through.
Combining the laser-cut minerality of Chavignol’s chalky soils with the salinity of the dish and the savoury complexity of Cotat’s house style, this is a serious wine that deserves collectors’ attention and will just highlight the raw quality of the ingredients been used.
