The traditional way of serving foie gras is with sweet alcohol like Sauternes and Armagnac. However, some special wines and champagnes also go well with foie gras.
Here is the list of few wines that taste blissful with a spoonful of foie gras –
- Sauternes is a sweet wine with a tinge of ginger, citrus, apricot, caramel and butterscotch. Traditionally, foie gras is the best combination to Sauternes because the rich creamy texture blends with it well.
