Data-driven wine advice from SommelierX
Looking for the best wine with eggs benedict? It helps to look beyond the main flavour. Egg, hollandaisesaus and the sauce together define the profile, and that is what we base the wine choice on. Through the Wine DNA, our algorithm calculates the flavour balance of eggs benedict and links it to the wine styles that come closest. Below that profile is worked out, with the recommended wines, their grape and region, and a short rationale per bottle.
The Wine DNA of eggs benedict shows a clear profile: Savoury and sweetness are the strongest flavour axes. Our algorithm translates this flavour balance into wines whose own DNA axes — acidity, tannin, body, fruit and spice — complement the dish rather than overpower it. The higher an axis below, the more that taste defines the dish and the more precisely the wine selection responds to it.
