A wide choice of gingerbread!
Spice bread is a dish we hold from Greco-Roman antiquity. Let’s not forget that this historic era is also largely linked to the world of wine! This recipe crosses the ages and the continents to be part of the Christmas tradition There is a wide range of bread spices, so that each region of France would have its recipe: there are three essential foods, flour, milk and honey, and the spices vary from one region to another, some preferring nutmeg or anise It would be necessary to choose a wine that could accord with this multiplicity of flavors!
A gourmet cake with a sweet wine
To accompany your spice bread we recommend a natural sweet wine. A soft wine will bring freshness, sweetness in your tasting. The soft white prevails in the marriage with the spice bread: it can mingle without problem with the flavors and spices of this dessert and bring a touch of lightness. Red wine is not to be avoided: let’s not forget that Christmas is also the period of mulled wine !! You can, with your spice bread, drink a rather powerful red wine, with impressive notes of red fruits for example.
The ideal appellations to taste with the spice bread
In summary, you can consume Alsatian wines such as Gewurztraminer or late harvest Riesling. Also the traditional Banyuls will awaken the flavors of the bread spices during your tasting. Finally, if you accompany your red wine dessert, prefer a Marsannay or Canon-Fronsac that are powerful enough. For a spiced bread with orange peel, prefer a Alsace wine, with late harvests that give it candied aromas. For a chocolate dessert, it should be a red wine or a sweet, warm wine.
