Crémant de Bordeaux Rosé : The freshness of oysters au gratin
To get your festivities off to a great start, opt for a Crémant de Bordeaux Rosé from Vignobles Dulon.

The liveliness of this Crémant will bring out the marine flavours while adding a festive note to your table.
Crémant de Bordeaux Blanc: Elegance and Refinement

Its finesse and white floral notes blend harmoniously with these delicate dishes, creating an unforgettable taste experience.
Cerdon Méthode Ancestrale: the delicacy of a macaroon
Domaine Sandrine Bigot's Cerdon Méthode Ancestrale is a naturally sweet sparkling wine made from Gamay Noir grapes with white juice, which is perfect as an aperitif or with dessert. Its red fruit aromas and light effervescence make it an ideal companion for a cheese platter, such as Brie or Roquefort, as well as red fruit desserts. A raspberry tart or red fruit macaroons are a perfect complement to this gourmet combination.
Champagne Brut Eveil des Sens: classic and festive pairings
Domaine Romain Billette's Champagne Brut Eveil des Sens is an exceptional wine that embodies the excellence and tradition of the Champagne region. It goes perfectly with classic festive dishes such as pan-fried foie gras or roast poultry. Its minerality and white-fleshed fruit notes will sublimate the rich flavours of these festive dishes, creating an explosion of delight on the palate.
Champagne Extra Brut Sur le Bois: The elegance and terroir of a truffle brouillade
Domaine Romain Billette's Champagne Extra Brut Sur le Bois reflects the terroir and elegance of champagnes with character. It is ideal with truffle-based dishes, such as a truffle brouillade or wild mushroom risotto. The complex aromas of this champagne, with a majority of Pinot Meunier, will blend subtly with notes of undergrowth and mushrooms, creating a perfect culinary harmony.
Champagne Rosé Brut Nature: The freshness of salmon
To add a touch of eccentricity to your festivities, opt for a Champagne Rosé Brut Nature from
Domaine Romain Billette. Its pink colour and freshness make it the ideal companion for a dish of gravlax salmon. The wine's notes of red berries and liveliness will add a delicate touch to your meal, awakening the senses of your guests.
