Sparkling wine from the perspective of mariage
"Marriage" originally means "marriage." However, on the table it has a different meaning. It is the compatibility between wine and food. These two have a mysterious relationship, and instead of "1+1=2," if it goes well it becomes "1+1=10," but if it doesn't, it becomes "1+1=-10."
In other words, the synergistic effect of wine and food can amplify the flavor of both ingredients more than if they were enjoyed alone, but on the other hand, if you get the combination wrong, the original flavor of both the wine and the food can be diminished.
Wine mariage is the true joy of incorporating wine into a meal.

White fish goes well with sparkling wine
Cremant de D Sparkling (dry)
Sparkling yellow gold. Aromas of white flowers, honey and muscat. Refreshing bubbles without any unpleasant taste.
Le Cordon Bleu recipe:
Steamed black sea bream with seaweed and beurre blanc sauce
The beautifully clear Crémant de D is perfect with light white fish. It is refreshing yet hearty, so it can be paired with meat dishes such as chicken and lamb. Even a light, dry wine can be paired with a main dish if it is well-made. However, it should be paired with white fish or meat. It is also important to match the color of the wine with the color of the ingredients .
Other dishes that go well with it: roasted local chicken or fish, ratatouille, gazpacho (cold vegetable soup), bouillabaisse
Rich sparkling wine with "umami" flavor
Crémant d'Alsace Sparkling (dry)
A typical Alsace sparkling wine reminiscent of white flowers and refreshing fruit. Concentrated and full-bodied.
Le Cordon Bleu recipe:
Vegetable and seafood terrine with cocktail sauce
The Crémant d'Alsace wine, which has a wide range of flavors, is best paired with a terrine, which combines the umami of seafood, the sweetness of vegetables, and a satisfying sauce. The trick to pairing is to match the strength and flavor of the flavors , such as "light things with light things" and "rich things with rich things."
Other dishes that go well with it: Tempura, pork shabu-shabu, shumai, vegetable pie, salad with ham
Sweet sparkling wine with blue cheese
Blanquette de Limoux Sparkling (slightly sweet)
This precious sparkling wine is made using an ancient method that does not add any sugar, and has an appealing apple flavor and low alcohol content.
Le Cordon Bleu recipe:
Gnocchi and chicken breast Roquefort gratin
The key is blue cheese. It has a unique flavor, but it goes perfectly with the moderate acidity and sweetness of the wine. The secret to a successful wine pairing is to include ingredients that go well with wine in the recipe . Another important point is to use light chicken breast meat to match the gentle flavor of the wine.
Feel free to enjoy it with desserts and baked goods.
Other dishes that go well with it: vegetable and egg chirashi sushi, canapes, Roquefort (blue cheese), fruit tarts, sables
