Montbéliard sausage: how to recognize it and where to buy it
It's safe to say that Franche-Comté is the home of the smoked sausage. Mortau and Montbéliard are produced in all four départements (Haute-Saône, Territoire de Belfort, Doubs and Jura). Comtois smoked sausages are an important part of the region's DNA.
Wines & Spirits
Crémant festive bubbles
French crémants still suffer from a lack of popularity when compared to champagnes, considered to be of higher quality. Yet both sparkling wines are made using the same traditional method (two fermentations). And some crémants, especially those that have been aged for a long time in the cellar, can easily rival champagnes... Gault&Millau has selected 10 favorites from 100 blind-tasted crémants.
