The second Vive La France dish is the Ouefs Bourguignon - a 63C poached egg (free range & organic) marinated in a red wine reduction & served with beurre rouge, garlicky snails, a beautiful nettle puree, champignons, bacon lardons, bread crust & garlic chips. Matched with the 2012 Verget Vergisson La Roche, made by flamboyant Burgundy winemaker Jean-Marie Guffens with fruit from Mâcon in southern Burgundy. An interesting and beautiful dish, memorable.
