Côtes du Rhône Rouge
Côtes du Rhône Rouge (Grenache-Syrah from southern Rhône) — black cherry, garrigue and white pepper echo the earthy texture of Puy AOP green lentils; garrigue answering bay leaf and thyme of the mirepoix, Grenache roundness wrapping melting lentils.
Beaujolais
Beaujolais (Gamay on pink granite of southern Beaujolais), served cool at 13°C, lightens peasant lentil soup; strawberry and cherry contrasting the lentils' starchy texture, discreet tannins respecting the tender pulse, acidity de-greasing pork rind or smoked sausage slices.
Côtes de Gascogne Blanc
Côtes de Gascogne Blanc (Colombard-Ugni Blanc, South-West, IGP neighbouring Armagnac) — lemon, grapefruit, white flowers and exotic passion fruit bring acidic freshness to lentil soup; taut citrus cutting pulse heaviness, exotic edge shifting rustic Berry lentils toward a fresher summer version.
