Description
Bouillabaisse is different from other fish soups with the special selection of Provençal herbs, spices, and ripe tomatoes.
Tomatoes are acidic, so a fresh, crispy, and dry white wine matches best.
Light and zesty white wines with a personality, such as Sauvignon Blanc, are perfect.
Daily exposure to the sea adds a Saltiness and Minerality to Cassis that makes it great with Fish.
Provençal Rosé complements Bouillabaisse nicely, holding the regional flavours together.
Piquepoul is splendid with both Tomatoes and Mediterranean seafood.
Albariño's delicious fresh acidity makes it excellent with any fish and seafood, and the same goes for Verdicchio.
