Wine pairing help - Mature Marsanne & Champagne, young Condrieu

Hi everyone, I have a few pairing challenges coming up and would like some feedback…

Cheese with mature champagne:
This is to go with a salad course and I would like to play off the nutiness of the older champers. I’m thinking Piave or Manchego.

Condrieu:
I"m considering the butter poached lobster w/figs and Foie recipe from TFL (the french laundry). I’ve made this a few times before but always paired it with a sticky…

Mature N. Rhone Blanc (Marsanne):
At a loss here [scratch.gif] , maybe a mild curry but I’ve never tasted a mature Marsanne so I dont even know the flavour profile.

TIA!

For the champers:

  • zamarano or roncal (if you want to try a Spanish cheese more interesting, but similar to manchego)
  • aged gouda
  • comte or tete de moine

Wouldn’t change what you’ve planned for the condrieu and sorry, I’m in the same boat as you for the marsanne.
