Is Jura wine with game possible?The weekly Chassons.com newsletter

Clémentine, que vous inspire les arômes du gibier, pourriez-vous nous décrire les odeurs qui émanent des lièvres, perdreaux, chevreuils et autres grives et nous décrypter la symbiose recherchée dans un accord met & vin en général ?

Speaking of game, I already imagine these dishes simmer in a saucepan, with a pretty wine sauce, accompanied by herbs (bay leaf, various spices thyme ...).I see myself in my grandmother's kitchen, with her traditional chestnut boar for the holiday season, chased by my grandfather.The food and wines agreement should not be underestimated.Both are married, but above all they complement each other.The dish will allow us to discover other organoleptic aspects of wine and vice versa.

When looking for a wine to associate, you have to look for balance, namely not to take a wine too powerful or too light depending on the dish in question.None of the elements should take over in the mouth, we are looking for the symbiosis.

The hunter likes research, waiting, the beauty of a landscape and the scents.He also likes to make discoveries.Do you think you can taste game with Jura wine and if so what wines do you think?

Very often, when we talk about Jura wines, we refer to the historical and identity products of our region, namely our typical whites, savagnin, yellow wine etc ... a little less known, the red wines of the Jura also have theircharacters.I refer to the Jurassian Aboriginal grape varieties, such as the Trousseau and the Poulsard.These atypical wines go perfectly with game thanks to their animal and meat side.Take for example a trousseau with a little age (between 5 and 10 years old) this one fits perfection on red meats (wild boar), venison, cold meats and soft cheese.
