Patricia Wells first sampled a variation of this crab salad as part of a luxurious dish served at Pic, a restaurant in Valence, where Anne Sophie Pic is following in the family's august culinary tradition. Fresh crabmeat is such a delicacy that Wells made the crab salad into a recipe that can stand alone.

Our Pairing Suggestion

A chilled dry Sauvignon Blanc, like a Quincy from the Loire.
