Here are 3 recommended wine pairings for chou-fleur. Click the button below to explore all options on the Verso app.
Chablis
Chablis (Chardonnay on Kimméridgian fossilised Jurassic oyster beds) — lemon, flint, green apple and chalky minerality highlight oven-roasted cauliflower without overpowering; oyster-shell minerality echoing the slightly sulphurous note of cooked brassica, chiselled acidity cutting the tahini or golden breadcrumb finish.
Muscadet
Muscadet sur lie (Melon de Bourgogne, Nantes with 6 months on fine lees) — lemon, iodine, green apple and Atlantic salinity accompany steamed or salad cauliflower; green-apple edge echoing the crunchy freshness of raw florets in tabbouleh, salinity holding mustard vinaigrette and the occasional cumin dusting.
Bourgogne Aligoté
Bourgogne Aligoté (Burgundy's native grape, brighter and more citrusy than Chardonnay) — yellow lemon, golden apple, hazelnut and sharp vivacity form the Burgundian peasant partner for cauliflower Mornay gratin; acidity de-greasing the Comté-cheese béchamel, simplicity respecting the subtle brassica flavour.
