\"\"<\/a><\/strong>French cuisine is considered one of the finest in the world, with a rich tapestry of flavours and techniques. When combined with the perfect wine, the experience becomes c\u2019est magnifique<\/i>. We\u2019ve recreated four French-inspired dishes that showcase the charm of classic French cuisine, each paired with four wines from Leopard\u2019s Leap Culinaria Collection.<\/p>\n

Leopard’s Leap Culinaria Collection<\/h3>\n

Leopard\u2019s Leap Culinaria Collection celebrates the marriage between food and wine, through balancing flavours and enhancing taste. From the vibrant acidity of Chenin Blanc to the rich complexity of the Grand Vin, and the elegant Pinot Noir, each wine is a symphony of flavours crafted to enhance your meal, whether enjoying a rustic French dish or an elevated dessert. Impress dinner guests with these four delicious and simple wine-paired recipes.<\/p>\n

Country Rustic Dijon Chicken<\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>Comforting and flavoursome, this Country Rustic Dijon Chicken embodies the charm of rustic French cooking\u00a0\u2013 the perfect centrepiece for an intimate dinner party with friends.<\/p>\n

The vibrant acidity of Leopard’s Leap 2022 Culinaria Chenin Blanc<\/a> is ideal for rich meals. Ripe pear notes and spice aromas complement the fragrant mustard and thyme in this dish. Utterly divine!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Tender chicken portions with crispy skin are pan-fried to golden-brown perfection and bathed in a creamy Dijon mustard sauce, with hints of thyme. The tanginess of the Dijon mustard adds a delightful twist, while the chicken stock, brown mushrooms and onion impart heaps of flavour and body. Spoon wholegrain mustard into the sauce for added texture and drizzle with the mushroom pan jus<\/i> for extra flavour. Mop up the luscious sauce with baguette chunks, and be transported to the countryside of France.<\/p>\n

Tartiflette Savoyarde<\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>Inspired by northern French cuisine, we\u2019ve recreated a classic ski-lodge dish, Tartiflette Savoyarde. Indulgent and satisfying, this dish is ideal for wintry weekend evenings by the fireplace, entertaining friends and drinking wine.<\/p>\n

A full-bodied Bordeaux-style blend, Leopard’s Leap 2020 Culinaria Grand Vin<\/a> pairs exceptionally with hearty dishes. Rich berry and oaked flavours of this Cabernet Sauvignon-based wine beautifully contrast the creaminess of this dish.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Fluffy potatoes baked in a creamy sauce, laden with smoky pork lardons and bubbling hot Camembert cheese \u2013 it doesn\u2019t get more heavenly than this! Tartiflette Savoyarde traditionally uses reblochon cheese, we\u2019ve opted for Camembert in this revamped rendition. Bake in the oven to reduce the cream; the potatoes should be fluffy and the Camembert melted. Top with caramelised onions and serve with gherkins to cut through the richness. Lastly, tuck in the creamy goodness with baguette slices and enjoy with a glass of Grand Vin.<\/p>\n

Pork Chops Au Poivre<\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>Impress dinner guests with this homely yet elegant dish. Succulent chops on a bed of velvety, peppery sauce\u00a0\u2013 Au Poivre is the unmistakable flavour of French cuisine.<\/p>\n

Subtle tannins and the fresh acidity of Leopard’s Leap 2021 Culinaria Pinot Noir<\/a> makes it the perfect partner for most dishes. Dark fruit flavours and earthy hints complement the peppery sauce.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Paying homage to Leopard’s Leap Culinaria Pinot Noir, a combination of Old World Burgundy with New World Pinot Noir, we\u2019ve recreated this traditional dish with a modern twist, using pork chops instead of a steak. Chops are pan-seared and smothered in a luscious black pepper sauce. Served with buttery mashed potatoes and steamed asparagus for crunch, this delectable dish is simple to prepare and incredibly comforting \u2013 guests will savour every bite. C\u2019est magnifique!<\/i><\/p>\n

Vanilla & Hazelnut Mille-Feuille<\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>Elevate celebrations and end dinner on a sweet note with this delightful Vanilla & Hazelnut Mille-Feuille \u2013 the ideal match for Leopard’s Leap Culinaria Brut M\u00e9thod Cap Classique.<\/p>\n

Paired with Leopard’s Leap Culinaria Brut M\u00e9thod Cap Classique<\/a>; citrus and biscuit undertones take these treats to delicious heights, while the lively bubbles lift the flavours.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

French cuisine is filled with delicious dessert pastries, mille-feuille being one of them.\u00a0Layers of delicate puff pastry, silky vanilla pastry cream and toasted hazelnuts create a symphony of textures and flavours in this impressive treat. Puff pastry is baked to golden brown perfection and piped with vanilla and hazelnut cr\u00e8me p\u00e2tissi\u00e8re in between. Once the Mille-Feuilles are assembled, garnish with hazelnut for an enhanced nutty flavour.<\/p>\n
