However, that doesn’t mean that you only have to pair it with traditional foods.Not so long ago, I was invited to participate in a twitter chat about the region of Chablis and its wines, the purest expression of Chardonnay. When you pick up every part of the dish in one bite, followed by a sip of Chablis, the wine pairs well, showing a brightness, richness, and bold expression of fruit aromas in such a harmonious way.Ĭhablis is a classic wine. There are many components to this dish that the wine can pick up on. This bowl of slow-roasted pork shoulder on top of quinoa tabbouleh and topped with red cabbage, pickled red onions and tzatziki. My final pairing for the day is Chablis and Pork Gyro bowl from Bar Neon. The wine is bold enough to pair with lighter meats like chicken and pork. Chablis is not a white wine that has to only be paired with fish and veg dishes. Running with the unconventional pairing vibes but shifting gears a little. If you are dying to try this unconventional pairing, check out Annalakshmi Restaurant Toronto to order a Cheese Dosa the next time you pop a bottle of Chablis. When thinking about each part of the dish, these are the types of pairings that can really help make a memorable dining experience. The dish highlights the brightness of the wine, brings forward its mineral notes, and the aromatic profile of the wine is center stage in this pairing, with the fruit aromas feeling more prominent from sip to sip. This pairing brings out a different side of the wine. While Dosa can be spicy at times, the street-food-style cheese Dosa quells that spice intensity and doesn’t overwhelm the palate. This thin crepe-like south Indian dish is done in a street-food way with a cheese filling. I enjoy pairing Chablis with a Cheese Dosa. Unconventional pairings with Chablis are where we really get to put our wine pairing skills to the test. Give a try to this pairing at home with an order of Cod Fish and Chips from one of my fav spots, Hooky’s Fish and Chips. The fats in the dish and just enough to match the lean feel of the wine, bringing out its bright acidity, and giving the wine a more decadent feel on the palate. The crisp batter, richness and crunch of the dish coupled with the salty favour of think cut potatoes fries complement the freshness of this wine well. My mind drifts directly to Chablis when pairing with Cod Fish and Chips for a more modern pairing with a classic touch. Give a try to this pairing at home with an order of a half dozen oysters from Bar Neon. Oysters also complement the lifted body of this Chablis. This pairing brings out the minerality, acidity, and soft fruit notes of the wine even more. Oysters have a flavour profile that brings the sea to the table. Let’s dive right in, starting with a classic pairing. Opening up the mind to many pairing options, both classic and unconventional.Ĭhablis and oysters. Overall, the wine is medium in body, high in acidity, dry, has low fruit notes and an excellent level of minerality. On the palate, the wine is harmonious, vivacious, with bright acidity, expressive minerality, tart citrus notes, with a persistent finish. The wine itself has aromas of ripe peaches, apricots, soft white floral notes, lemon juice, a seaside mineral vibe. Keeping those basic pairing rules in mind today, I am diving into some pairings with the 2020 Chablis production by Domaine Séguinot-Bordet. Finally, spicy and umami dishes increase wine’s bitterness, acidy, and alcohol perception while decreasing the wine’s body, richness, sweetness, and fruit flavours. Sweet foods lower a wine’s body, sweetness and fruit flavour and increase bitterness, acidity and alcohol perception. Fatty foods increase acidity and fruit flavours while decreasing tannins and perception of alcohol.
