Coquilles Saint-Jacques à la Chablis

Ingredients:

• 12 large scallops, patted dry
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 shallot, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup Domaine Séguinot Bordet Grand Cru 'Vaudesir' 2022 (or a comparable Chablis)
• 1/2 cup fish or light chicken stock
• Juice of 1 lemon
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Fresh tarragon or parsley, for garnish

Instructions:

1. Sear the Scallops: Heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Season the scallops lightly with salt and pepper and sear for 1–2 minutes per side until they develop a golden crust. Remove and set aside.
2. Prepare the Sauce: Lower the heat to medium. Add the chopped shallot to the pan and sauté until translucent. Deglaze with the Domaine Séguinot Bordet Grand Cru 'Vaudesir' 2022, scraping up any browned bits.
3. Pour in the stock and allow the mixture to simmer until reduced by about half. Stir in the lemon juice and the remaining butter, whisking until the sauce is smooth and emulsified. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Finish and Serve: Return the scallops to the pan briefly to warm them through and coat with the sauce. Plate the scallops, drizzle with the lemon-butter sauce, and garnish with fresh tarragon or parsley.
5. Enjoy with a chilled glass of Domaine Séguinot Bordet Grand Cru 'Vaudesir' 2022 to fully appreciate the elegant interplay of flavors.
