Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc

Salmon works really well with Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Sauvignon Blanc. To decide on white or red, you should consider your seasoning and sauces. Chardonnay is a great friend to buttery, creamy dishes, while sauvignon blanc can complement herb or citrus-centric dishes. A light-bodied, low-tannin red such as the pinot noir goes great with broiled or grilled salmon. The Domaine Ravaut: Grand Cru Hautes Mourottes Pinot Noir Wine with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 79 dollars per bottle.

Domaine Ravaut: Grand Cru Hautes Mourottes Pinot Noir Wine

A reddish bronze tint reveals this wine's age, but it still has plenty of life. A deep, rich nose suggests ripe black cherries, clove, and cassis. After the wine has had time to breathe, it begins to reveal even more spice and fruit. Drinking beautifully now but likely to remain attractive through at least 2019.
