Why these wines work
Quiche Lorraine is a dish of medium intensity, shaped by fat. The right wine matches that intensity without overpowering the dish.
For all 3 recommendations, Sapreno gives the same reasons: The dish and wine intensities match. The wine's acidity cuts through the fat. Fits the creamy, cheesy sauce.
The 3 recommendations range from 94 to 96 out of 100 in the Sapreno Match.
