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 Linguine With Mussels
A medium white like French Chablis suits Linguine With Mussels when the sauce is delicate.
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 Linguine With Mussels
Sauvignon Blanc's bright acid lifts Linguine With Mussels cleanly — the lean white strategy.
White · Medium · Dry
Sauvignon Blanc from the upper Loire, grown on flint and chalk. Citrus, smoke, and a mineral finish that hints at struck stone. The refined antithesis of New Zealand's tropical SBs.
Why it works with Linguine With Mussels
White Sancerre's body and acid handle Linguine With Mussels well — especially with cream- or seafood-based sauces.
