What to drink with red meat?
Syrah
For lovers of red meats such as beef or lamb, Syrah is an essential choice. This full-bodied red wine, with its peppery, spicy notes, goes perfectly with grilled steaks or beef ribs. Its robust character balances the flavours of the meat.
Malbec
Originally from Argentina, Malbec is renowned for its firm tannins and black fruit flavours. Ideal with juicy pork chops or a hearty burger.
Zinfandel
American Zinfandel, with its black fruit aromas and light spiciness, is the ideal partner for marinated meats. Its richness on the palate makes it a versatile wine for grilled meats.
What to drink with white meat?
Chardonnay
A woody Chardonnay, with notes of vanilla and butter, goes well with grilled chicken, adding a velvety texture that perfectly complements the tenderness of the meat.
Sauvignon blanc
Lighter and livelier, Sauvignon Blanc, with its citrus and herbal aromas, is the perfect accompaniment to white meats seasoned with herbs, such as lemon-rosemary chicken.
Pinot noir
For a more delicate red option, Pinot Noir, with its soft tannins and cherry flavours, is an excellent choice for grilled chicken. It offers great harmony without overpowering the more subtle flavours of the meat.
What to drink with fish or seafood?
Albariño
This Spanish white wine, with notes of lemon and green apple, is perfect for grilled fish and seafood. Its freshness and acidity balance the marine flavours.
Vermentino
With its citrus and stone fruit aromas, Vermentino goes particularly well with seafood, creating a refreshing combination.
Provence Rosé
A dry rosé, with notes of strawberry and melon, goes well with a variety of grilled seafood dishes, offering a touch of freshness and lightness.
What to drink with grilled vegetables?
Grenache
This light to medium-bodied red wine, with its notes of red fruit and a touch of spice, goes well with grilled vegetables.
Pinot Grigio
Fresh and tangy, Pinot Grigio is ideal for grilled vegetables and salads, adding a lively note to the dish.
Rosé
A fresh, light rosé is a versatile option that goes well with a wide range of grilled vegetables, adding a fruity and refreshing dimension.
