IN BRIEF

The essentials of pairing wine and blanquette


Answers to the most frequently asked questions about this pairing.

Which wine to serve with veal blanquette?
A round, fresh white, such as Prestige White, accompanies the creamy sauce without weighing it down.
Can you serve a red wine with blanquette?
It is best avoided: the tannins of a red harden the cream sauce. If you insist, choose a very light red.
At what temperature should the wine be served?
Between 10 and 12°C, so that the roundness of the wine comes through without losing its freshness.
Which grape varieties to choose for a blanquette?
Roussanne and Marsanne, white grapes from the South, offer the right balance between richness and freshness for this dish.
