Cassolette d'Escargots
Snails in Chablis Wine Sauce
The subtle taste of Burgundy snails reveals its best when cooked with butter, shallots and garlic. It goes very well also with white wine like in this dish where it is cooked in a wine sauce and cream. It is served in individual bowls called cassolettes.

As this preparation calls for a Chablis wine, it makes perfect sense to serve the same bottle at the table. Ask your favorite wine shop for a rounder, fruity style of Chablis rather than one with a sharp, mineral character.
