Wines to take to dinner with the in-laws

When it comes to meeting or dining with your in-laws, choosing the right wine to bring can seem tricky. The wine you offer should not only complement the meal but also reflect your sense of taste and conviviality. Discover our wine suggestions that will help you make a good impression and turn this occasion into an unforgettable experience.

An Elegant White Wine to Start the Meal

If your in-laws enjoy white wines, opt for a renowned appellation like an AOC Chablis or AOC Sancerre, two safe choices that will impress with their finesse and freshness. These dry, mineral white wines pair well with many dishes, from seafood to poultry, as well as light appetizers. They demonstrate refined taste while being accessible to all palates.

A Structured Red Wine to Accompany the Main Course

For the main course, it’s best to choose a red wine that combines power and elegance. AOC Pomerol or AOC Saint-Émilion Grand Cru reds are perfect for pairing with red meat or roast poultry. These wines, from renowned French terroirs, offer complex aromas of dark fruits, spices, and undergrowth, with velvety tannins that complement a wide range of dishes.

A Festive Wine for Dessert or Aperitif

If you really want to score points, bring a bottle of Champagne to start or finish the meal in style. A Crémant from the Loire or Burgundy can also be an affordable alternative, while still being festive and appreciated for its freshness and delicate bubbles.
