Champagne goes with everything, it is sometimes said. But does it match well with a cuisine based solely on vegetables and plants? To explore this wine and food pairing, BKWine Magazine contributor Jeanne Peixian Qiao, went to Alain Passard’s Arpège in Paris and found excellent matches with the champagnes from Chantal Gonet, Stéphane Vignon, and Lombard. Champagne may not pair well with “everything”, but it certainly matches well with plant-based food.

This article is the second text by Jeanne Peixian Qiao who recently joined BKWine Magazine’s group of guest writers.
