Steak au Chocolat with Sunchoke Purée
This chocolate-based sauce for the steak adds a slightly decadent finish to the grilled meat. The sauce worked well in a pairing with the Hermitage La Petite Chapelle (2012) from Paul Jaboulet-Aîné, a red wine from the Northern Rhône Valley.

Next time that your near Apt, see if you can find Eydins. It’s a small vin yard not far from Pont Julian. We found it as a recommendation from our land lord whilst staying in St Saturnin le Apt. We haven’t managed find it anywhere else. As we are staying in Cassis early September we will take a day trip to purchase a couple of cases.
Hi thanks for the Luberon wine tip! We will try to hunt that one down to add to our #WinesofProvence cellar.
Sounds wonderful. I’m definitely going to look into it!
Thank you!
