Red Wines and Red Meats
The pairing of red wine and red meat is a timeless classic of French gastronomy. Powerful, structured, round, or spicy, red wine brings out the full richness of a dish made with beef, lamb, or game. At Avenue des Vins, we have selected the best red wines to pair with red meats, to enhance your meals from the simplest recipes to the most refined dishes.
Why pair red wine with red meat?
Red meat, due to its texture and richness, calls for wines with a certain tannic structure, capable of standing up to the meat juices and harmonizing with sauces. The tannins in the wine soften in contact with the proteins, making the whole experience smoother and more balanced on the palate. Choosing the right red wine means enhancing both the meat and the wine. Whether it’s grilled beef, veal chop, duck breast, or leg of lamb, every dish deserves a tailored pairing.
Which red wine for which red meat?
- With grilled steak or ribeye: go for a powerful Bordeaux red, a full-bodied AOC Cahors, or a tannic AOC Madiran.
- With filet mignon or tournedos: a Pinot Noir from Burgundy or a more delicate AOC Saumur-Champigny is ideal.
- With leg or rack of lamb: choose an AOC Côtes-du-Rhône or a red wine from Languedoc-Roussillon.
- With slow-cooked red meat like beef bourguignon: try a red AOC Lirac or AOC Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
- With roasted or sauced duck: opt for a Malbec from the South-West or a 100% Syrah from the northern Rhône valley such as AOC Saint-Joseph or AOC Crozes-Hermitage.
- With game meat: turn to an aged Bordeaux like an AOC Haut-Médoc or a spicy red from Languedoc such as AOC Fitou or AOC Corbières with wild notes.
