20 Sep 2023 Désir Scallops Recipe
We recently released our 2023 Désir – only the second white blend Brian Carter Cellars has ever produced. This gorgeous Bordeaux-style blend from Red Mountain and the Yakima Valley offers aromas of pears, figs, and herbs, with similar flavors along with bright acidity and a long finish. 66% Semillon, 34% Sauvignon Blanc.
In celebration of this wine’s release – we paired it with Seared Scallops with Beurre Blanc sauce –an ideal pairing. The rich, buttery beurre blanc complements the wine’s crisp acidity, creating a harmonious balance. The citrus and herbal notes of the Sauvignon Blanc cut through the richness of the sauce, while the Semillon adds a round, creamy texture that mirrors the buttery scallops. This pairing highlights the freshness of the scallops while enhancing the complexity of the wine. Enjoy this recipe by our partner Karen Binder and create your own fabulous culinary experience.
