+- 25$ Morogues Le Petit Clos Jean-Max Roger Menetou-Salon 2015

A Mentou-Salon from the Loire Valley with notes of citrus, cut grass and beeswax. A mouth full of length and freshness, which reminds us of citrus fruits and our afternoon holidays on the edge of the pool, a glass of wine in hand!

Houblon Libre Saison IPA, Microbrasserie du Lac Saint-Jean, 6%

A hybrid between a classic Belgian season and an aromatic IPA, this Houblon Libre will offer notes of pepper and lemon supported by herbal touches. The lemon and orange aromas of the beer will be enjoyed along with the lemon of the recipe. Its notes of pepper and fresh bread will perfectly support the shrimp. Very dry, it will be the perfect beer to sip between each bite of shrimp!
