Wines to Enjoy with a King Cake
The King Cake is a must-have dessert for Epiphany, enjoyed throughout the month of January. Whether it's filled with frangipane or made brioche-style, the King Cake is the perfect opportunity to share a warm moment with family or friends. But which wine should you choose to pair with this generous and comforting pastry? Discover our selection of wines that will elevate every bite of your King Cake.
Which wine to pair with a frangipane King Cake?
The frangipane King Cake, made with puff pastry and a rich almond-based cream, calls for a wine that balances its sweetness and creamy texture. Sweet or semi-sweet white wines are ideal choices to pair with this type of dessert. A white wine from the AOC Sauternes or AOC Monbazillac, with their aromas of candied fruits and honey, will enhance the flavors of the frangipane without overwhelming them. For a lighter option, an effervescent wine like a Crémant de Bourgogne can also be a lovely alternative. Its freshness and light bubbles contrast with the richness of the frangipane, offering a harmonious and festive pairing.
Which wine to pair with a brioche King Cake?
The brioche-style King Cake, lighter and often adorned with candied fruits, pairs wonderfully with sweet and fruity white wines. A Côteaux du Layon or a sweet Vouvray are perfect companions thanks to their fruity aromas and natural freshness, which balance the soft and sweet texture of the brioche. If you prefer sparkling wine, opt for a sweet sparkling wine like a Clairette de Die or a Blanquette de Limoux Méthode Ancestrale.
To make this indulgent moment even better, Avenue des Vins offers a selection of sweet, semi-sweet, and sparkling white wines specially chosen to accompany your King Cake.
