Remarks
Do try to use a Vin Jaune if you can, even if it is rather expensive. Otherwise, any white wine made with Savignin grapes will do (and at a more reasonable price).
And to drink?
Without hesitation, a Jura white. The same wine as used in the recipe is the perfect accompaniment.
Keeping
Several days in the fridge, covered with plastic film.
