Comte.The Perfect Glass for Vin Jaune
|
A Small Tulip Shaped glass consentrates the aromas near the rim for enhanced nose enjoyment. The slightly narrow opening helps to capture the deep, rich aromas, making each sip more flavorful. Vin Jaune is usually served slightly chilled. A stemmed glass prevents your hand from warming the wine. |
Vin Jaune Cheese Pairing
Sweet and salty foods pair well together. The same goes for wine and cheese.
