Here are 3 recommended wine pairings for macarons. Click the button below to explore all options on the Verso app.
Champagne Rosé
Rosé Champagne (Pinot Noir-Chardonnay blended as rosé d'assemblage or saignée, traditional method 15-36 months on lees) — strawberry, raspberry, autolytic brioche and fine bubbles form the elegance pairing par excellence for the finesse of Pierre Hermé macarons; strawberry mirroring wild-strawberry or raspberry macarons, bubbles aerating the almond-meringue shell, brioche edge prolonging the white-chocolate ganache.
Sauternes
Sauternes (botrytised Sémillon-Sauvignon-Muscadelle on Bordeaux graves) — acacia honey, candied apricot, vanilla and noble rot opulently accompany fruit or pistachio macarons; candied apricot echoing the apricot-rosemary macaron, honey doubling that of the honey-pistachio macaron, vanilla holding the almond Tant-pour-Tant shells.
Moscato d'Asti
Moscato d'Asti (Muscat à Petits Grains from Piedmont, Asti method at 5.5° and 100g/L residual sugar) — peach, sweet orange, rose and light bubbles accompany macarons without masking their subtle aromas; table-grape Muscat character mirroring red-fruit macarons (strawberry, raspberry), rose doubling Ladurée pale-pink shells, 5.5° alcohol not crushing the delicate ganache.
