Muscadet Sèvre-et-Maine sur Lie

white · Melon de Bourgogne · Pays Nantais, Loire · France — 8–10°C

The historic Loire pairing for oily fish: Muscadet sur lie (Melon de Bourgogne aged on fine lees in Pays Nantais) — iodine, lemon and discreet spritz defatting the rich mackerel flesh and holding the Dijon mustard. Total bistro.

Chablis

white · Chardonnay · Chablis · France — 10–12°C

Chablis (Chardonnay on fossil Kimméridgian) takes the more elegant version: lemon acidity cutting the flame-grilled mackerel's rich flesh, flinty edge doubling the grilled cooking note, chalky minerality holding the mustard sauce.

Riesling

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

Dry Alsace Riesling (granitic or schist) is the other great oily-fish + mustard classic: lemon tension cutting the fat, characteristic petrol note holding the Dijon, green apple refreshing between bites.
