This dish is a sensation, a texture in the mouth with many different tastes depending on the rice and recipe chosen. <strong>Which wine to drink with risotto?<\/strong> From We tell you all about these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.comptoirdesmillesimes.com\/blog\/accord-mets-vins\/\">food and wine pairings<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.comptoirdesmillesimes.com\/toute-la-cave\">&gt; Find the best risotto wines on Comptoir des Mill\u00e9simes<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">PAIRING WINES WITH OTHER RISOTTO RECIPES<\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"text-content\">\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">A traditional Italian dish, Risotto can be cooked in a variety of ways.  The principle is quite simple: first, brown the rice in a fatty substance (butter or oil, for example). Once the fat has been absorbed by the rice, it's time to cook it in the broth. You'll need to choose your broth carefully, depending on the recipe and the ingredients you're going to use with your rice. You can use a vegetable, mushroom, meat or fish stock. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">When it comes to food and wine pairing, risotto is a slightly \"pasty\", heavy dish. It should therefore be accompanied by a fresh, supple, low-tannin wine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">WHAT WINE FOR SCALLOP RISOTTO?<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">As you can imagine, this time the risotto will be based on a fish stock and will be accompanied by scallops sprinkled with parmesan. The scallop is a delicate, fine fish. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">We therefore recommend serving a fine white wine so as not to overpower the scallops:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"LC20lb DKV0Md\">?<a href=\"https:\/\/www.comptoirdesmillesimes.com\/bourgogne\/chablis-grand-cru-2009-les-clos-maison-louis-latour.html\"> <span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Chablis Grand Cru 2009 - Les Clos - Maison Louis Latour<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n<p class=\"LC20lb DKV0Md\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">We chose this magnificent bottle because its geographical location and vintage make it the perfect accompaniment to our dish. There are 7 climats classified as Grands Crus in the Chablis appellation, and each of them produces mineral, complex whites. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Thanks to the 2009 vintage, the nose will be slightly evolved, with notes of mushroom and truffles. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">The palate is soft and round, with hints of spring. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">The finish is fresh and oily, with a hint of lemon, perfect for enhancing the iodine of scallops.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">WHICH WINE GOES WITH MOREL RISOTTO?<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">This time we won't be using a stock from the same family as the main ingredient. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">It's best to prepare it with a vegetable broth to avoid an overly pronounced mushroom taste. To accompany morels, you'll need <strong>a rich wine with old-wine aromas<\/strong>. Once again, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.comptoirdesmillesimes.com\/bourgogne\">Burgundy wine<\/a> will be ideal to accompany it. :<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"LC20lb DKV0Md\">? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.comptoirdesmillesimes.com\/volnay\/volnay-1er-cru-2005-les-pitures-michel-marc-rossignol.html\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Volnay 1er Cru 2005 Les Pitures - Michel &amp; Marc Rossignol<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n<p class=\"LC20lb DKV0Md\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">We chose this Volnay 1er Cru, as the appellation is one of the most delicate in the C\u00f4tes de Beaune, and its old vintage will be ideal to accompany the risotto. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Produced at 100% with Pinot Noi grapes, this wine gives off aromas of undergrowth, mushroom and red fruit. The wine will have enough power to balance with the morels without taking over or being overpowered.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">What you need to know about risotto and wine<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Risotto is a dish that originated in Italy, but has been revived and sublimated by top French chefs. <strong>Wine and risotto<\/strong> is an association with a few rules. Depending on its texture - creamy, very creamy - and its taste, the<strong>food and wine pairing<\/strong> must be different. 3 rices are preferred for a smooth risotto: arborio rice, the easiest to find in stores, is also used for rice pudding; vialone nano rice, with its much smaller grain, as its name suggests, is harder to find, but excellent for a very creamy risotto; carnioli rice, with its long, very porous grain, competes with arborio.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Risotto can be vegan, with vegetables, fish, white meat (chicken, turkey...) or mushrooms. The secret lies in the preparation of the dish: the different stages must be followed chronologically to ensure success.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Which white wine for risotto?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Red or white, the choice is yours.
