What wine pairs with asperges?

Sauvignon Blanc Touraine

white · Sauvignon Blanc · Loire · France — 8–10°C

Asparagus contains a sulfur compound that destroys most wines — only Sauvignon Blanc, with its own vegetal signature, embraces this difficulty rather than fighting it. Touraine is the most accessible and sharp Loire option.

Sancerre Blanc

white · Sauvignon Blanc · Loire · France — 10–12°C

Sancerre Sauvignon on flint and limestone steps up the asparagus pairing — smoky mineral extends the steaming and citrus tension holds up against mousseline or hollandaise sauce.

Riesling Alsace

white · Riesling · Alsace · France — 10–12°C

Dry Alsace Riesling brings sharp acidity and schist mineral that answer asparagus without aggression — alternative to Sauvignon for those preferring a more aromatic white.
