Festive fish dish with Burgundian elegance
Tender salmon wrapped in crispy puff pastry, filled with creamy cream cheese and savoury spinach – a festive dish that perfectly complements the Chardonnay from the Mâconnais.
Ideal wine accompaniment: Chardonnay from the Mâconnais AOC (Burgundy, France)
The Burgundy Chardonnay impresses with its harmonious balance of ripe apple and citrus flavours with a subtle hint of vanilla. The creamy texture of the wine combines perfectly with the cream cheese, while the lively acidity balances out the fatty salmon. The mineral character underlines the spiciness of the spinach and the buttery flavours of the puff pastry.
