What to drink with veal paupiettes?

Food & wine pairing: Veal paupiettes

Visit Veal Paupiettes ! A great-great-great-great-grandmother's recipe! Recipes for paupiettes can be found in cookery books dating back to 1742, so this is a traditional French dish that everyone should be familiar with. Apart from the fact that paupiettes could be found in restaurants, they were mainly made to finish off the previous day's leftovers. The principle is quite simple: stuff a thin slice of meat, roll it up and tie it up. It sounds so easy to say, but after a few seconds of struggling with the escaping stuffing, you'll get the hang of it. The accompaniment is varied, but often includes spring vegetables and mushrooms. It's a very tasty and rather dry dish. That's why it's best served with a supple, silky, fairly aromatic wine. Also available our other wine and food pairing guides on the blog !

• Château de la Grille 2005 Chinon

Located in Chinon, Château de la Grille benefits from a beautiful terroir of tuffeau and limestone sand, which absorbs water in winter and releases it in summer. This means that the vines are never under water stress, and produce lovely Cabernet. Owned by Baudry-Dutour, Château de la Grille is one of Chinon's finest wines. This very fine 2005 vintage will give off notes of ripe red fruit, evolving slightly to give notes of sweet spices. It goes perfectly with veal paupiette, without overpowering it.

There's no need to introduce Domaine Combier, a pioneer in the Vallée-du-Rhône, offering terroir-driven, charming wines.

• Terrasses du Larzac - Les Obriers de la Peira 2018

If you haven't yet tasted a wine from this estate, you should do so without hesitation! Here we have the fruit of two enthusiasts who have set the bar very high for this 11-hectare estate. Several cuvées are produced here, but the most appropriate for our dish today will be their fruity cuvée, "Les Obriers". It's one of the best value for money wines in the Languedoc. However, if you're craving Provence, don't hesitate to prepare your paupiettes Provençale-style, adding tomatoes and olives... And that's where Domaine de la Peira comes in. Its cuvée Les Obriers is a feast of fruit and sunshine. Aromas of candied fruit and garrigue emerge without exuberance, but with great precision. For all enthusiasts of the great Languedoc-Roussillon estates, we recommend tasting the domaine's cuvées, which are undoubtedly in the same league as all the great southern wines...
