What wine with truffle?

Food and wine pairing · classic benchmarks: the preparation and your taste come first.

Black truffle loves mature, evolved reds whose tertiary aromas (forest floor, leather) echo its own; white truffle prefers generous whites. A Jura vin jaune is a connoisseur's pairing.

Red

Deep reds, ideally with a few years of age, resonate with black truffle.

• Châteauneuf-du-Pape
• Hermitage
• Côte-Rôtie
• Pomerol
• Nuits-Saint-Georges

White

Generous Chardonnay with white truffle; vin jaune (Château-Chalon) with truffled poultry.

• Meursault
• Château-Chalon

How to use these pairings

A good pairing balances the dish and the wine: neither should dominate. The suggestions above are proven classics for the category, not rules: the preparation, the sauce and your taste matter more. When in doubt, the regional pairing (the wine from the dish's homeland) rarely fails.
