Strawberry tart with chocolate coating

It’s the beginning of strawberries (in any case French strawberries) so it’s true that they don’t yet have the great flavors of summer. So I naturally made a strawberry pie, I imprisoned it in a chocolate cage (normal, we tasted it at Easter). I hesitated between a pastry cream and a chocolate ganache for the base of my Strawberry Tart, well I remained classic with the pastry chef. I also really like to flavor my shortbread with a lemon zest, but Léonie has trouble with citrus fruits, frankly do not hesitate to zest a quarter of organic lemon, but not too much! It must remain light. My shortbread is sublime, don’t think I’m playing it on myself, no! It is delicious and goes wonderfully with this beautiful strawberry pie.

What wine to drink with a strawberry pie?

My favorite wine for this recipe: the white Gaillac grape varieties Mauzac, Len de L’Ei, Muscadelle from Domaine Long Pech
A yellow color with some gold reflections, a nose with a few touches of citrus fruit can be pink grapefruit, very ripe, lychee, finishing, as a final touch, with barely tart apricot.
Temperature between 08 ° and 10 °.
