Louis Jadot Cote D’OR Burgundies Meursault

Say it with me – boo·yuh·beis – today is National Bouillabaisse Day! Born as a humble seafood stew in the South of France, bouillabaisse now graces the menus of many top French restaurants. For seafood lovers like me, there are many recipes online that you can adopt and recreate this divine dish at home. My go-to recipe is by Mark Bittman at the New York Times. Maison Louis Jadot Meursault with its fruit-forward and buttery texture and aroma would pair nicely with the varieties of seafood in this dish – Cheers and Bon Appetit!

ORIGIN

Burgundy, France

Grapes

Chardonnay

Tasting Notes

Full and expansive upon entry, with subtle blend of citrus, floral, and hazelnut essence, then a long elegant finish

Food Match

Perfect with nearly all fish dishes, and equally at home with white meats such as chicken in various preparations
