Here are 3 recommended wine pairings for foie gras. Click the button below to explore all options on the Verso app.
Sauternes
Sauternes Semillon botrytized on Bordeaux gravel — honey, candied apricot and mango, the legendary sweet-savory contrast with mi-cuit foie gras, botrytis acidity preventing cloy.
Pomerol
Pomerol (Merlot-dominant on gravel and blue clay) is the classic sommelier red pairing for seared or terrine foie gras: velvety tannins and ripe plum flesh wrap the foie's fat without aggression, while truffle and forest-floor notes echo its umami. The canonical Bordeaux alternative to Sauternes, especially when foie is served with port reduction or mushrooms.
Gewurztraminer Vendanges Tardives
Gewurztraminer Vendanges Tardives from Alsace — lychee, rose, mango and Eastern spice on sweetness, sumptuous pairing with foie gras on gingerbread, amplifying fig chutney.
