Krug x Rice Challenge:
Another one bites the rice

"The elegant maturity of Krug Grande Cuvée 170^ème Édition is a refreshing match for the mushroom notes of the pairing. The freshness of the Champagne cuts through the rich buttery and cheesy flavours of the Risotto, while the brioche notes of the Krug elevate the truffle and black garlic."

"The lettuce sauce that binds the rice is extremely earthy, sweet, and slightly bitter. The oyster bavarois has a little acidity to it, so combined with the briny oyster, the freshness of Krug Grande Cuvée 170^ème Édition complements these flavours and adds a richness to the dish."

"This pairing is characterised by both harmony and contrast. The earthy aromas of the rice and daikon bring umami, and zesty flavours invigorate the palate. The distinctive but soft, ripe freshness of the Krug Grande Cuvée 170^ème Édition breaks the creamy consistency of the rice and creates a further connection to the daikon and the beurre blanc."
Christian Bau, Germany

"The oiliness of the fish is balanced by the freshness of the Krug Grande Cuvée 170^ème Édition, while there is a delicious interplay of the aromatics in the rice with the Champagne. The subtle sweetness of the miso marinade, combined with the ginger and mitsuba, results in a complex pairing in which both the rice and the wine are enhanced."
