Wine Pairing
Caviar
Sparkling Wines
The saltiness of caviar pairs pefect with the clean, crisp flavor of a dry Champagne with good acidity and citrus falvors.
Champagne (Blanc de Blancs)
Made entirely from Chardonnay grapes. Its crisp acidity, citrus notes, and mineral undertones perfectly complement the briny, buttery flavors of luxury Caviar like Osetra or Beluga.
Franciacorta (Italy)
Crémant (France)
Prosecco (Italy)
Cava (Spain)
Sekt (Germany)
White Wines
If the caviar is served together with a meal, we recommend a dry white wine instead of Champagne.
Chablis
A bone-dry French white wine from Burgundy. It features intense flinty minerality and high acidity that mirrors the ocean-like qualities of the caviar without overpowering it.
Dry Riesling
Provides a vibrant, aromatic contrast with good acidity. Particularly German or Austrian Trocken (Dry) styles.
Muscadet (France)
Sauvignon Blanc (New Zealand)
Rueda (Spain)
Avoid
- Oaked Chardonnay
- Heavy red Wines
- Tannic wines
- Sweet wines
