Pinot Noir
Interesting
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 En Croute
Serve Pinot Noir slightly chilled with Salmon En Croute; the lift makes the pairing feel right.
Sauvignon Blanc
Classic
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 En Croute
Salt air, lemon, and stone — Sauvignon Blanc's profile mirrors what Salmon En Croute is reaching for.
Shorthand for Sauvignon Blanc — citrusy, grassy, high-acid white wine. The reliable shellfish-and-goat-cheese companion.
