Côtes-du-Rhône and Tuber melanosporum

The 2024 red wine sheet suggests black truffle, grilled meat and mature cheese as pairings. The sheet applies to L’Automne, Résonance and Le Trésor de Fripon. Its dark-fruit and spice notes give you details to consider alongside your dish.

Consider the whole dish

When asking for advice, describe the whole preparation: eggs, meat or vegetables, plus sauce and seasoning. The same truffle can feature in very different dishes. A pairing is a suggestion to judge by your preferences. Offer an alcohol-free option for guests who do not drink wine.

Serving guidance for the 2024 red

The sheet recommends serving at 16–18°C and decanting for about thirty minutes. These instructions apply to this particular red, not to every Côtes du Rhône. For a meal, confirm the available vintage and purchase terms with MGCODB, which resells the three designs.
