Food & Wine Pairing
We suggest enjoying our leek and goat cheese tart with a glass of organic white Côtes du Rhône Parallèle 45 wine.
The delicate roundness of this cuvée enhances our chef’s puff pastry and its freshness also highlights the vegetable
aspect of the leek and the sweetness of the goat cheese. A simple and convivial pairing for a delightful experience!
Enjoy your meal!
