Feast Weekend Special – Whole Quail – Domaine De La Voutes Des Croze

Our feature this weekend is roasted whole quail with sourdough, pancetta, pecan, golden raisin, sage, rosemary and thyme stuffing over sauteed morel mushrooms, roasted tomato, grilled asparagus and scallions with a beurre blanc. We have paired a classic wine from the Cote de Brouilly in Beaujolais, France. Nicole Chanrion, affectionately known as “La Patronne de la Cote,” or the Boss of the appellation creates wines with loads of pure fruit character and floral aromas from the vineyard on the hillside of the prehistoric volcano Mont Brouilly. Using traditional techniques like hand harvesting, whole cluster fermentation, aging the wines in large oak foudres, and bottling unfiltered, her wines are powerful and carry a sense of place.
