Sommelier’s tip
Petit Chablis
Octopus, anchovies, basil — the powerful flavours of these ingredients bring character to this dish, while the pasta and the confit tomatoes bring softness and unctuousness. The umami quality of the octopus combined with the gentle spice notes pair beautifully with the freshness and vivacity of a Petit Chablis.
