Wine and food pairing: roast langoustine!
Scampi, this noble crustacean of the seas, is often appreciated for its delicate flesh and sweet flavor. When roasted, its texture transforms into a perfect combination of tenderness and crispness, while its aromas develop to offer an incomparable taste experience.
To accompany roasted langoustine and magnify its flavors, it's essential to choose a wine that's both balanced and elegant. Here are a few food and wine pairing suggestions.
A Chablis, this white Burgundy wine made from the Chardonnay grape, offers a perfect combination with roasted langoustine. Its lively acidity and subtle minerality enhance the freshness and delicacy of this seafood delicacy. Try those from domaine Pommier or a 1er Cru Vaillon from domaine Christian Moreau with this exquisite dish.
A dry white wine from the Loire Valley, a Sancerre for example, made from the Sauvignon Blanc grape, brings a touch of elegance and freshness to roasted langoustine. Its citrus aromas and liveliness make it an ideal companion for this delicate dish. We recommend the Sancerre du domaine du Pré-semelé or, even straighter, those from domaine François Crochet.
Finally, there's nothing like an extra-brut Champagne to celebrate roasted langoustine with panache. Its fine bubbles and freshness cleanse the palate between each bite, while its aromatic complexity adds a touch of refinement to this exceptional dish. The Champagne de Sousa or those from the domain Charpentier-terre d'émotion will perform their function perfectly!
