Red · Medium · Dry

The classical red blend — Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and friends — from southwest France. Black currant, cedar, tobacco; serious structure; rewards patience and decanting.

Why it works with Aïoli Sauce

Bordeaux Pink's mid-weight flatters Aïoli Sauce without taking over — the everyday red strategy.

Champagne

Classic

Sparkling · Light · Dry

Méthode champenoise from the most chalk-rich corner of France — fine bubbles, brioche, lemon zest, and a finish that goes on for half a minute. The wine for anything fried, salty, or special.

Why it works with Salmon Aioli Sauce

Bubbles refresh between bites of any seafood dish.

Chardonnay

Classic

White · Medium · Dry

The most-planted white grape and the most chameleon-like. Crisp and steely from Chablis; rich, oaky, and tropical from California. Read the label, then match the style to the dish.

Why it works with Salmon Aioli Sauce

Chardonnay's body matches richer seafood preparations.

A tiny, ancient Provence appellation outside Aix — both reds and whites of unusual character from native grapes. The collector's Provence.

Why it works with Aïoli Sauce

Palette Pink and Aïoli Sauce make a workable pairing — taste, adjust, enjoy.

Pinot Noir

Classic

Red · Light · Dry

Burgundy's most temperamental grape, but the rewards are real — translucent ruby with a perfumed lift of red cherry, forest floor, and clove. Silken tannins and bright acid make it the most versatile red on the table; serve cool, around 58°F.

Why it works with Salmon Aioli Sauce

Pinot Noir is the rare red that works with salmon — silky tannin meets the fish's natural fat.

Rosé

Classic

Rosé · Light · Dry

Provence's gift to summer — dry, pale, faintly strawberry-and-citrus, with low alcohol and crisp acid. Made to drink cold, with food, in the shade.

Why it works with Salmon Aioli Sauce

Dry rosé matches salmon's coral hue and oily texture beautifully.

White · Light · Dry

Citrus, cut grass, and a wire of acid. Marlborough makes it loudest; Sancerre makes it most refined. Either way, it cuts cleanly through goat cheese, herbs, and anything with shellfish.

Why it works with Salmon Aioli Sauce

Crisp white acid cuts through salmon's natural oils.

White · Medium · Dry

Veneto's everyday white — Garganega grape, light, almondy, citrus-finished. The good single-vineyard bottles drink like little Chablis.

Why it works with Aïoli Sauce

Soave Doc White's body and acid balance Aïoli Sauce's flavor profile.
