Indeed, a romantic dinner is a wonderful way to reconnect with your partner and share a special moment with your soulmate. To ensure that this beautiful moment isn’t spoiled, it’s important to carefully select both the menu and the wine that accompanies it! Don’t worry, our guide is here to help you choose the perfect cuvée and avoid any missteps. Follow our advice to discover the best wines for a romantic dinner.

Bubbles to Sparkle Your Partner’s Evening!

When you want to celebrate something or mark a special occasion, nothing beats popping the champagne! The bubbles always make an impact and show your loved one how much you value this intimate moment. Additionally, beyond the symbolism, serving champagne as an aperitif will awaken your taste buds without overwhelming your palate. If you're on a tighter budget, don’t worry—there are excellent crémants available that offer unbeatable quality for the price.

Use Labels and Names to Send a Love Message!

It’s rare that we advise choosing a wine based on its label. However, it can be fun to convey a message of love to your partner through the names of certain cuvées or appellations. We’ve put together a selection of perfect wines for a romantic dinner to make your choice easier. Additionally, some appellations like AOC Saint-Amour or specific crus like Premier Cru “Les Charmes” in AOC Meursault or “Les Amoureuses” in AOC Chambolle-Musigny, are great ways to give a nod to your partner.

The Best Food and Wine Pairings for a Romantic Dinner

To start, what could be better than a flute of AOC Champagne to toast to your love? With its fine bubbles, freshness, and delicate aromas, a bottle of champagne or a good crémant will awaken your partner's senses and set the stage for the rest of the meal!

To complement the aphrodisiac qualities of sautéed shrimp with ginger, choose a bottle of crisp and fruity white wine made from Sauvignon, from an AOC Pouilly-Fumé or AOC Sancerre. These expressive and mineral appellations will contrast with the spicy profile of the dish without overpowering it.

Show your soulmate that you love them by opening a bottle from an AOC Saint-Amour estate! This charming and elegant red wine, with notes of red fruits, apricot, and pepper, will beautifully enhance any dishes featuring red meat, pork, or poultry. Let your imagination run wild! For a romantic and sophisticated dessert like raspberry, rose, and lychee cream macarons, turn to a bottle of sweet white wine from an AOC Alsace Gewurztraminer estate. With its intense aromas of rose, lychee, and spices, this varietal will harmonize perfectly with your dessert and delight your partner’s taste buds !
