As a starter, the famous Burgundy snails with parsley butter
To kick things off, treat yourself to some Burgundy snails with parsley butter. We give this classic a twist with homemade garlic butter, parsley, and a hint of Espelette pepper to awaken your taste buds. Pair it with a well-chilled Chablis, whose acidity and mineral notes beautifully highlight the richness of the butter. It's classy, it's fresh, it's festive, and most importantly, it sets the mood!
For the main course, a Gaston Gérard capon
Next up is the main course featuring a poultry dressed for the occasion: the Gaston Gérard chicken in XL size for the festive season. This is an ancient recipe from Dijon, featuring a capon topped with a creamy Dijon mustard sauce, enhanced with a white Burgundy wine. Serve this dish with roasted baby potatoes sprinkled with thyme for a touch of “rustic chic.” As for the wine, a Meursault will be perfect, with its nutty aromas and rounded flavor that beautifully complement the mustard sauce.
A Blackcurrant Log from Burgundy for Dessert
To wrap up your meal on a festive and refined note, why not dive into making a Burgundy Blackcurrant Log? This light and airy log combines a soft sponge cake soaked in blackcurrant liqueur with a light cream infused with blackcurrants. The contrast of flavors and textures turns each bite into a moment of pure delight. Pair this dessert with a glass of rosé Crémant de Bourgogne, where the fine bubbles and fruity notes beautifully complement the richness of the blackcurrant.
Get your taste buds ready, dear Dijon residents, because this Christmas is going to be unforgettable! Here's something that will delight your guests and help you celebrate in style!
