WINE AND YULE LOG PAIRING

To accompany a Yule log, the ideal choice is a subtly sweet wine, so as not to end the meal rolling around like a log... If it's a classic buttercream, almost any wine will do. But if the log is fruity, a Muscat or Beaumes-de-Venise will be just the thing to make sure you don't run out of juice. And for those who want to finish on a fizzy note, opt for a champagne with character, just to pop the cork... without making the log explode! ???

• Quart de Chaume 1982 - Domaine des Baumard

This 100% Chenin is surprising. Although it has "aged in the bottle", it retains its characteristics. Candied, stewed fruit, it's perfect after half an hour's aeration. It can even accompany red fruit logs, as this Quart de Chaume has a characterful finish that opens up many possibilities.

• Rivesaltes 1976 - Cuvée Aimé CAZES Maison Cazes

A very old vintage from Domaine Cazes, offering a magnificent sweet wine.

The nose is a blend of dried fruit, sweet spices and citrus. The palate is well-balanced, with honeyed, silky notes and a lively, lemony finish. The wine is ideal with chocolate or forest fruit logs.

• Champagne blanc de blanc - Drappier Signature

We no longer present the Drappier estateone of Champagne's great classics. Its signature cuvée blanc de blanc will surprise you with its aromatic complexity, but at the same time its simplicity in capturing every note and nuance in your glass. White peach, white fruit and a brioche finish, it's perfect for light, white-fruit logs or even a frozen log.
