LA PAULÉE SELECTIONS - BEHIND THE SCENES...

We are thrilled to announce the new edition of La Paulée Selections in partnership with our wine retailer Morrell and the participation of ”Food Siblings Kitchen”.

For this fourth offering of La Paulée Selections, we kept the idea that wine is meant to be enjoyed with great company but also with delicious food. As always, we started off by picking the wines. Here, we decided to highlight the beauty of terroirs, sometimes overlooked, but farmed and vinified by some of the most talented producers in Burgundy. This selection of three white Burgundies features a chiseled Chablis from Eleni et Edouard Vocoret to start, a more lush Chardonnay expression from Saint-Aubin made by Morey-Blanc and finally the “simple” Bourgogne appellation by Domaine Marquis d’Angerville. All these wines are a great showing and truly reflect their place of origin. Being all from the bountiful and expressive 2018 vintage, the tasting experience is defined by instant pleasure and drinkability.

What about the food? We thought it had to be focused on the freshness of these wines while embracing the enchanting spring season. We asked the young and dynamic siblings Candice Bourgeois (yes, my wife!) and her brother Paulie Valetutti to come up with the right dish. Chicken, creamy-crispy, finger-licking, delicious fingerling potatoes quickly turned out to be the dish, but the first element the paired chefs came up with was in fact the sauce, a recipe the siblings created while quarantined together last year. The green sauce is the perfect liaison between the chicken and all three wines.
