Poached Eggs in Wine Sauce

Poached eggs in red wine, a delicious must be on any restaurant menu. The wine sauce called meurette is the pride of the Burgundian cuisine; basically made from wine thickened with butter and flour with flavorings and spices added. The sauce blends well with poached eggs and fish.

Wine Pairing

Oeufs en Meurette and Wine

You can serve the same wine which goes into the preparation of the meurette sauce. A red Bourgogne from the Côte d'Or will make for a pleasant appetizer, while leaving you room to move on to fuller bodied wines with the main dish.
