Main course: Monkfish fricassee with apricots

This fish of delicate flavors blends perfectly with the wines of the Loire Valley and in particular the wines of Touraine-Oisly. On the palate we find in this pairing a surprising and pleasant subtle minty freshness, enhanced by this tasty fish. The sweet and savory touch brought by dried apricots brings elegance to the dish. The perfect balance between power and finesse!

For dessert: Melon and fromage blanc verrines

Chic and light, melon is perfectly suited for round wines, ample on the palate and balanced. Ideal to end a meal on a gourmet note. It perfectly enhances the aromatic palette of our wines from Touraine-Oisly. In addition, the pronounced aromas of the melon will perfectly respond to the tonic side of these wines.

The key to this pairing lies in the age of the wine, opt for wines that are young enough for lightness.

Add a tablespoon of honey and a few mint leaves to accentuate the Touraine-Oisly aromas of white flowers and citrus fruits.

A delight for the taste buds!
