This wine goes well with meats but also young, an “Andouillette” for example, but Also a good terrine. Some white meat, poultry but also all roasts and grills. After a few years it is quite able to offer a great accompaniment to meat cooked in sauce, or with mushrooms (unless too spicy) and kidney.
