If, like us, Christmas dinner represents an opportunity to create a menu where wine and food go together without a false note, here’s our selection.<\/p>

To get you started, we suggest the Ch\u00e2teau Blanc cuv\u00e9e to match your festive aperitif. The freshness of this wine, its notes of white flowers and pear with an iodized finish, will enhance salmon toast or blinis, or a seafood platter.<\/p>

As a starter, to sublimate foie gras recipes, whether in French toast, on toasted brioche or even in cr\u00e8me brul\u00e9e, we recommend Agn\u00e8s Blanc, whose gourmet notes of brioche and roast are elegantly balanced by a beautiful freshness. Chapelle Blanc will also complement your foie gras-based starters. Our extra tip: citrus compote with Agn\u00e8s Blanc, apple compote with Chapelle Blanc.<\/p>

For the main course, with a traditional stuffed capon or duck, Chapelle rouge is the key cuv\u00e9e: its complex aromatic palette extends from blackcurrant aromas to hints of thyme and pepper. For those who love game, whether venison or wild boar, we recommend you try Agn\u00e8s Rouge: its power, prune notes and silky tannins will delight you.<\/p>

With your cheese platter, we suggest you switch back to white. With fresher, milder cheeses, our Ch\u00e2teau Blanc will be the perfect companion, while for tastier cheeses our Chapelle Blanc will be your friend.<\/p>

For chocolate desserts, such as the classic Yule log, accompanied by fresh red fruit or fruit in sauce, we return to the elegant Chapelle Rouge, while for non-chocolate desserts, such as a revisited log with raspberries and pistachios, we suggest the Chapelle Ros\u00e9, with its red fruit aromas and beautiful bitters.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
