Maison Louis Jadot Beaujolais Villages Combe aux Jacques

France, Beaujolais

A great classic, a supple wine with red fruits, to be served slightly chilled on the terrace. See the product

Gros Mollet, Microbrasserie du Lac St-Jean

Tapenade, prosciutto and parmesan are proud representatives of the umami flavor. So, choose a beer that will have a lot in common with this food, such as the Gros Mollet, a beer with notes of butterscotch, candied fruits, hazelnuts, roast and berries. Let it warm up for a burst of flavor. See the product
