New Year's Eve in Bordeaux at Julia's
At Julia in Bordeaux, the end-of-year festivities are much more than just celebrations: they are moments of shared joy, where the bonds are strengthened and the memories of this great family continue to be written. With the sound of joyous laughter echoing through every room, you can feel the festive spirit permeating the air. The table is generously laid with delicious dishes, filling the house with tantalising aromas that awaken the senses.
The chef's menu
To awaken the taste buds with an unexpected and refined seafood pairing, Château Lafaurie Peyraguey 2017 stands out for its elegance and deliciously complex notes. This white goes perfectly with the freshness of seafood.
To celebrate stuffed capon in style, Château Picque Caillou 2015 is the perfect match. This red wine, rich in character and structure, underlines the tenderness of the bird and enriches every bite.
When it comes to a large cheese platter, Olivier Merlin Pouilly-Fuissé Sur La Roche 2017 is the ideal companion. This elegant white from Burgundy enhances the diversity of cheeses with its complex aromas that will delight lovers of fine cheeses.
To round off this feast with a touch of chocolate, the Giulia Negri Barolo La Tartufaia 2016 from Piedmont. The rich nuances and silky tannins of this Barolo blend harmoniously with the chocolate notes, creating a decadent marriage to round off the festive season in style.
Celebrations in the Nantes region at Clément's house
The varied flavours of Nantes blend with the traditions of the festive season, creating a perfect symbiosis between the pleasures of the land and the festive spirit of the season. Each dish becomes an invitation to explore local delights, discover new flavours and share precious moments with loved ones. The conversations, rich in sharing and complicity, stretch over time, creating a festive moment that seems to last forever.
The chef's menu
For an exceptional starter such as homemade foie gras, there's nothing like the refined accompaniment of Nicolas Joly Savennières Clos de la Coulée de Serrant 2016. This characterful white wine is in perfect harmony with the delicacy of the foie gras, adding a subtle aromatic dimension... enough to impress your guests.
When guinea fowl takes centre stage at a festive meal, Domaine Henri Rebourseau Gevrey-Chambertin 2018 is the ideal choice. This red Burgundy wine, rich in flavour and balance, perfectly complements the tender guinea fowl.
A diverse cheese platter deserves a wine to match its variety, and Domaine Labruyère Moulin-à-Vent Cœur de Terroirs 2018 meets this requirement with elegance. This Beaujolais red offers a harmonious combination of red fruit and spice that blends perfectly with the richness and complexity of the cheeses.
For a grand finale, with the traditional Yule log, a Château Guiraud 2011 will not go amiss. This syrupy white wine adds a sweet, velvety note, creating a perfect association with the soft flavours of the log, for a grand finale!
