Storage
- Store the half bottle lying down in a cool, dark place with a steady temperature.
- It is ready to drink now and best enjoyed over the next two to three years.
- Chill in the fridge for two to three hours before serving.
- Once opened, recork and keep in the fridge, where it will stay fresh for several days thanks to its sweetness.
Serving
- Serve chilled at around 8 to 10°C in small white wine glasses.
- The 37.5cl half bottle gives four to six small glasses, as sweet wine is poured in smaller measures.
- Pour alongside foie gras on toasted brioche with fig chutney or Sauternes jelly.
- Also lovely with a fruit tart, crème brûlée or a piece of Roquefort or Stilton.
- Serve with the starter if foie gras is on the menu, rather than saving it all for pudding.
