White · Medium · Dry
Chardonnay grown on Burgundy's chalkiest soils, almost never oaked. Lean, steely, oyster-shell minerality; a wine that tastes like a place. The wine for shellfish, full stop.
Why it works with Grilled Dover Sole
Chablis's stone fruit and quiet structure flatter Grilled Dover Sole's natural sweetness.
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.

chassagne montrachet and Grilled Dover Sole make a workable pairing — taste, adjust, enjoy.
Red · Medium · Dry
A medium-bodied dry red in the European tradition — bright red fruit, soft tannins, and a savory finish. The everyday house wine of much of southern Europe.
Why it works with Grilled Dover Sole

Why it works with Grilled Dover Sole
