Our Christmas Menu at Château Vessière
As the holiday season approaches, the magic of sharing comes alive at Château Vessière. This festive and convivial time of year is the perfect opportunity to pair our wines with seasonal dishes.
Foie Gras Toasts with Red Onion Confit and Fleur de Sel, paired with the traditional Château Vessière Blanc, served chilled (10–12°C)
Château Vessière Blanc is a fresh and fruity wine, with notes of citrus and yellow-fleshed fruit. Its lively acidity balances the richness of the foie gras and the sweetness of the onion confit, creating a harmonious and elegant pairing to begin the meal on a light and refined note.
Pan-Seared Scallops with Butter, paired with the renowned Philippe de Vessière Blanc, served at 10–12°C
The freshness and minerality of Philippe Blanc balance the delicate texture of the scallops. Its notes of peach and acacia blossom, combined with a saline finish, enhance the finesse of the dish and create a beautifully harmonious pairing.
Roast Capon with Chestnuts, paired with the legendary Philippe de Vessière Rouge
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
Ortus Rouge, rich in Cabernet Sauvignon aromas, pairs beautifully with aged cheeses. Its notes of ripe fruit and Morello cherry add character while complementing the delicate flavors of truffled cheeses and hard, aged varieties.
Dark Chocolate Yule Log with the Authentic Aurore
Aurore, with its delicate aromas of yellow fruit and flowers, balances the intensity of dark chocolate. Its freshness and lightness soften the dessert, bringing the festive meal to a gentle and elegant close.
This menu is an invitation to experience our wines in a different way, through the emotions they evoke when paired with seasonal dishes.
At Château Vessière, each cuvée tells a story of terroir, family, and passion. At Christmas, it is a story meant to be shared around the table, through genuine and generous moments of togetherness.
