A pairing is made at the table.
A shared terroir does not guarantee a successful pairing. Preparation, fat, cooking and the wine's structure determine the balance with Tuber melanosporum.
La Truffe française presents our selection from old vines in the Drôme to accompany your truffles: one Côtes-du-Rhône red under three labels, L’Automne, Résonance and Le Trésor de Fripon. This wine is not produced by Domaine Les Hermessaines; references to the Domaine concern wine tourism.
A white wine may be a pairing suggestion for eggs, cream or a delicate sauce. It is not part of the current offer presented here; choose according to the dish and sauce.
One red, three labels.
Our selection from old vines in the Drôme to accompany your truffles. L’Automne, Résonance and Le Trésor de Fripon present the same Côtes-du-Rhône red.
Shown here with the Résonance label
Our selection from old vines in the Drôme
Côtes du Rhône red (AOP) from old vines in the Drôme. Blend: 40% Syrah, 40% Grenache, 10% Carignan and 10% Mourvèdre. 75 cl bottle, 14% vol. Contains sulphites. The label choice does not change the wine; adapt the pairing to the dish and its sauce.
Pairing suggestions: Parmesan risotto, roast poultry or short truffle jus.
03 / From plate to glass
Three dishes, pairings to adapt.
Pairings depend on the sauce, texture and wine you choose. Taste with the dish to check that the truffle’s aroma remains perceptible.
A white wine, depending on the dish
Eggs and creamy dishes
A white wine may suit delicate dishes, depending on its structure and the sauce. This is general advice; our current selection does not include a white wine.
Choose for the butter and garnish
A crisp truffle bite
Compare the wine’s freshness and texture with this buttery preparation. Taste with the garnish, without letting alcohol or oak dominate the truffle.
Red or white, depending on the sauce
Truffled poultry
A supple red may suit roast poultry and its jus; a white may accompany a cream sauce. The sauce and the balance of the dish matter more than the label name.
04 / From plate to glass
Serve it well
Serve the red at around 16°C. Wine that is too warm emphasises alcohol and overwhelms the aroma. Serve the white cool, not ice-cold, to preserve its texture.
Add the truffle at the last moment. Egg, butter, Parmesan or cream carries its aroma; the wine then brings contrast or continuity.

Truffles, bottles and visits: confirm each offer
La Truffe française presents truffles and our selection of old-vine wines from the Drôme; wine experiences are described on their respective pages. A pairing suggestion does not automatically combine these purchases into a package.
Choose for your dish
Eggs or cream sauce, risotto or poultry: start with the preparation and use the pairing guide to choose the wine style. Confirm available wines and vintages before purchase.
Purchases and invoices
The truffle batch and bottle have their own prices and terms. Wine for the Grand Cru box is sold separately. Each proposal identifies the seller, invoicing, charges and receipt; combined shipping is not assumed.
Hunting and estate activities
Ask for each activity’s programme, organiser and confirmation. The House hunt is in French; accommodation, transport and a full meal are not included. Wine tasting is for adults, with an alcohol-free alternative.
