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 Oyster Mignonette

Brut Champagne with raw oysters is a global classic for good reason.

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 Oyster Mignonette

Chardonnay's body matches richer seafood preparations.

White · Medium · Off-dry

The Loire's most versatile grape — bone-dry and steely from Savennières, honeyed and ageless from Vouvray. Naturally high acid keeps every style food-friendly.

Chenin Blanc's body and acid balance East Roast Oysters With Mignonette Horseradish And Cocktail's flavor profile.

Muscadet

Classic

White · Light · Dry

The Loire's seaside white — Melon de Bourgogne grape, bone-dry, slightly briny, perfectly transparent. The platonic ideal of oyster wine.

Why it works with Oyster Mignonette

Loire's Muscadet is the textbook oyster wine — salt, mineral, citrus, total restraint.

White · Medium · 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.

Nz Sauvignon Blanc's body and acid balance East Roast Oysters With Mignonette Horseradish And Cocktail's flavor profile.

White · Light · Dry

Why it works with Oyster Mignonette

Clean unoaked white that lets seafood flavor shine.

White · Light · 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.

Sancerre's bright acid lifts East Roast Oysters With Mignonette Horseradish And Cocktail cleanly — the lean white strategy.
