Food and Marriage Points
The sweet and salty mapo eggplant is made with sweet soy sauce and chili bean sauce, and the richness and umami of the lamb further enhances the taste. By frying the eggplant well in advance, it becomes glossy and moist. It is Bordeaux’s nature that accepts this rich dish. We recommend chilling this red wine to below 6 degrees Celsius and enjoying it with rum.
