Did you know that contrary to some preconceived ideas, lamb will marry perfectly with a red wine?
Contrary to a long-held principle that has fortunately fallen into disuse today, lamb meat, although white, will ideally go well with a red wine, and preferably a Bordeaux. Care should be taken to avoid all wines that are too concentrated and full of new wood. On the contrary, one will look for elegant tannins and a vivacity that one will find more easily in the soils of the Medoc or Graves.
And for chocolate dessert ?
If the white wine, and the red wine, can abound with aromas of chocolate, typical of mature wines, one also finds more opulent wines proposing this roasted aroma. The wines will have to compose with a certain sweetness in order to "fight" with cocoa.
This is why we prefer a "mutated" wine, if possible on an old vintage, or a rosé champagne, acidulated and fruity.
It is in this perspective that the Chateau.com team has composed its selection of wines for Easter.

Situated in the north-east of France, Alsace is a region whose wines are typical. Like Gewurztraminer and Riesling, Alsace wines are mainly white, sparkling and sparkling. Alsace, however, produces a red and rosé wine: Pinot Noir. The special feature of Alsace wines is that they take their name from the grape variety that makes them up: Gewurztraminer, Riesling, Pinot Gris, Muscat d' Alsace, Pinot Blanc, Sylvaner and Pinot Noir. They also refer to varietal wines, i. e. wines made from a single grape variety. Gewurztraminer and Riesling are the best known wines of this vineyard; however, there are two blended wines in Alsace, Edelzwicker and Gentil, wines composed of different grape varieties.
Alsace is made up of 3 appellations of controlled origin: Alsace, Alsace grand cru and Crémant d' Alsace. Additional information may also be added to their labels: late harvest and selection of noble grapes, which means that the wines have had late harvests or that their grapes, necessarily affected by the fungus "botrytis cinerea", have been selected by successive sorting.
Alsatian viticulture dates back to Roman times and has developed over the centuries. However, it was in the Middle Ages and during the Renaissance that it established its reputation. This one will experience ups and downs according to the periods of history that Alsace goes through. Wars and demographic falls in particular have disrupted its rise, but the 20th century will mark the beginning of its rebirth, notably thanks to the development of appellations of origin controlled between 1962 and 1976.
The diversity of the Alsatian soils, the climate and the typical grape varieties, give Alsace wines fruity and sweet aromas, ideal to accompany white meats, seafood and fish, or for aperitif.
