Lemon sole Grenobloise with brown butter hollandaise and anchovy fritter
« For me, it pairs beautifully because the Champagne cuts through the richness of the dish. You’ve got the chicken sauce on the bottom, the fatty, nutty flavours from the hollandaise, and brown bread croutons, confit lemon, capers and then a crispy anchovy on top. All of it just works like a marriage made in heaven with a glass of Champagne. It’s absolutely delicious. »
