Sparkling · Light · Dry
Champagne made from Chardonnay only — leaner, more lemony, more chalk-driven than blended Champagne. The aperitif Champagne.
Why it works with Gravad Lax
Champagne Blanc De Blancs's bubbles and acid lift Gravad Lax — versatile and palate-cleansing.
White · Medium · Dry
Aromatic, racy, and shapeshifting — bone-dry in Alsace, off-dry on the Mosel, syrupy and ageless when late-harvested. The single most versatile wine for spicy food on earth.
Why it works with Gravad Lax
Riesling Mosel's body and acid balance Gravad Lax's flavor profile.
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 Gravad Lax
Sauvignon Blanc's bright acid lifts Gravad Lax cleanly — the lean white strategy.
