Isabelle Tellier’s St. Valentine’s Day menu
Isabelle Tellier, Chef de Cave and a gourmet with a passionate interest in food-wine pairings, has developed a special Valentine’s Day menu to accompany Tsarine Rosé, a champagne with magnificent flavors of red fruits and a remarkable freshness:
“The starter is a scallop tartare, a seasonal dish that looks pretty with its white and red colors, and is easy to prepare. The dish accented by litchis, which add floral notes that harmonize with the red-fruit notes in Tsarine Rosé. For the main course, a grenadine — a veal medallion, a delicate meat that I like to cook with thyme, which accents the strawberry, redcurrant and blackcurrant fragrances of this rosé champagne.
For dessert, the dome cake — very light, made with mango mousse, which has an acidic side that blends perfectly with the red-fruit and passion-fruit glaze — is a nod to lovers to fit the occasion.
Throughout the meal, I advise drinking Tsarine Rosé at a temperature of between 8° and 10° C. You can leave the bottle in an ice bucket with water and ice cubes to keep it cold.”
