What a pleasure it is to set off on culinary journeys, pairing world cuisine with wines from the Rhône Valley!
Véronique Torcolacci, Winemaker at Maison Gabriel Meffre, takes us on an exploration of flavours, with her tips and favourite picks.

Summer is the season when fish and seafood dishes are best enjoyed. With varying degrees of saltiness and strength of flavour, and eaten "au naturel" or cooked, each seafood dish is best married with certain types of wine. We would like to share with you some of our favourite pairings!

Gabriel Meffre works with many different types of grape, but the rare and precious Viognier is one of the varieties which generates the most interest among wine lovers. Whether it has been soaking up the rays in sunny climes or enjoying the cooler climate of the northern Rhône Valley, it delivers a palette of aromas just as delicate as the touch required to grow this temperamental grape.

At your next tasting sessions, take pleasure in passing on this new-found knowledge which is sure to earn you some raised eyebrows of respect among your peers. Sound good to you? Then read on...
