What wine pairs with The Sea, the Sea?

The Pour

Crisp white🇫🇷 Sancerre, Loire Valley, France · Sauvignon Blanc

Briny, flinty and sharp-edged, with a cold-water clarity. It cuts through Charles Arrowby's self-regard as the sea cuts through his illusions.

Crisp white🇫🇷 Chablis, Burgundy, France · Chardonnay

Oyster-shell salinity and tension, a wine that tastes like the shoreline. Austere on the surface with something richer beneath.

The Mood

A retired theatre director withdraws to a seaside house and spirals into obsession over his first love. Booker-winning, vain and wickedly funny.
