Wine pairings for
Here are 3 recommended wine pairings for pea soup. Click the button below to explore all options on the Verso app.
Sauvignon Blanc
Touraine Sauvignon Blanc (on Centre-Val de Loire flint and tuffeau) — boxwood, grapefruit, cut grass and pea note (characteristic of aromatic green grapes) echo the flavours of fresh pea velouté; Sauvignon's pyrazine edge directly prolonging the 2-methoxy-3-isopropylpyrazine of green pea (same molecular family), aromatic mirror pairing.
Chablis
Chablis (Chardonnay on Yonne's Kimméridgian fossilised Jurassic oyster beds) — green apple, lemon, flint and mineral iodine bring freshness and structure to a refined pea velouté; chiseled acidity slicing the Isigny crème fraîche binding the soup, oyster minerality prolonging the fresh peppermint finish, green-apple edge mirroring fresh peas.
Riesling sec
For pea and ham soup, dry Riesling's sharp acidity balances ham and pea sweetness.
