Who is Caviar de Neuvic?

Located in the heart of the DordogneCaviar de Neuvic is a brand of French caviar which was created by Laurent Deverlanges, a true passionate about this luxury productThe brand quickly gained momentum, thanks to high-quality caviar production and effective sales through sharp marketing. The company invests in improving fish welfare and developing innovative production techniques.

Caviar made in France, really?

With 23 tonnes per year, France is today the third largest producer of caviar in the worldSince 2006, only caviar from farmed sturgeon is allowed, as wild sturgeon has become a protected species.

It was thanks to an exchange program with the Soviet Union in the 1980s that sturgeon were reintroduced to France. Caviar therefore no longer comes solely from Russia and Kazakhstan, but also from France. In 2014Caviar de Neuvic has produced more than 1.5 tonnes and plans to reach 6 tonnes in 2018.

Pairing caviar and fine wines?

• From SavenniereJust like caviar, it needs to be very fresh. This will stimulate your taste buds and allow for a better diffusion of the caviar's flavor.
• ChablisThis white wine pairs perfectly with the aromas of caviar. It accentuates its freshness and delicacy.
• Riesling: This Alsatian wine pairs perfectly with caviar, provided it is dry (all our Rieslings except the René Muré – late harvest).
