Food and wine pairing with foie gras mi-cuit
A Sauternes, a sweet white wine from Bordeaux, offers a classic pairing with mi-cuit foie gras. Its sweetness, candied fruit aromas and richness on the palate perfectly complement the smooth texture of the foie gras. In a still mellow register, a Gewurztraminer vendanges tardives can offer a surprising and delicious pairing. Its aromatic richness, exotic fruit notes and balanced sweetness harmonize with the delicacy of foie gras. Finally, a monbazillac, a sweet white wine from southwestern France, can also be a judicious choice. Its sweetness, honeyed aromas and complexity bring a touch of sophistication to every bite of foie gras.
A Champagne brut Terre d'émotion des Champagnes Charpentier can also be an excellent option to accompany mi-cuit foie gras. Its refreshing effervescence, liveliness and toasty notes add extra elegance to the taste experience.
For lovers of red wines, we recommend trying a Bordeaux that's a little older, such as a Pomerol from Château Gombaude-Guillot or a Margaux from Château Mille Roses from around ten years old.
