A successful pairing of wine and asparagus à la flamande starts with understanding the flavours. White asparagus and egg push this dish in a certain direction, and we tune the wine to that.

Below you will first read how asparagus à la flamande is built up in terms of taste, followed by the best-matching wines — including the reason behind each choice.

The higher an axis below, the more that taste defines the dish and the more precisely the wine selection responds to it.
