Rosé de Provence
Provence Rosé (Grenache-Cinsault from the Maures), pale and chilled to 8°C, accompanies Provençal rockfish soup beautifully; pink grapefruit and white peach lightening the reduced brown soup (scorpionfish-gurnard-tub-gurnard simmered with saffron), dried herbs answering wild fennel and bitter orange, freshness holding garlic rouille whipped with olive oil.
Picpoul de Pinet
Picpoul de Pinet (native Piquepoul Blanc from the Thau lagoon at Mèze) — lemon, sea salt, Mediterranean herbs and Bouzigues-oyster minerality are made for fish-soup briny flavours; oyster edge from oysters grown 50m from the vineyard echoing rockfish from Sète auction, taut acidity holding garlic-rubbed croutons and thick rouille.
Chablis
Chablis (Chardonnay on Yonne's Kimméridgian fossilised Jurassic oyster beds) — lemon, paradoxical inland mineral iodine, flint and chalky minerality echo the marine aromas of fish soup; oyster minerality prolonging the reduced rockfish broth, lemon holding squeezed-juice on garlic rouille, flint answering the saffron in the pot.
