For this recipe, look for suppleness, freshness and fruity expression in a wine. The red wine vinegar demands a wine of the same colour. Gamay, which finds its ultimate expression in the granite soils of Beaujolais, offers crunchy fruit, a spicy touch and a supple structure. Delicious pairing in sight!

Some of the Beaujolais crus, such as Chiroubles and Brouilly, can also be paired with this salad.
