Pan-Seared Scallops with Butter, paired with the renowned Philippe de Vessière Blanc, served at 10–12°C

A perfect balance of power and roundness, Philippe de Vessière Rouge offers a velvety texture with aromas of sweet spices, dark fruits, and garrigue. It enhances the tender, succulent capon and the natural sweetness of the chestnuts.
A full-bodied, characterful wine, perfect for festive meals shared around a generous table.
Truffle Brie, Aged Comté and Sheep’s Cheese, paired with the refined Ortus Rouge
