Red · Full · Dry
The benchmark for full-bodied red — structured, age-worthy, unapologetic. Black currant, graphite, and tobacco lead into firm tannins that demand protein on the plate. Decant young bottles; cellar the serious ones.
Why it works with Beaufort
Cabernet Sauvignon's structured tannins frame Beaufort; reach for this when the dish has weight to match.
White · Medium · Dry
The most-planted white grape and the most chameleon-like. Crisp and steely from Chablis; rich, oaky, and tropical from California. Read the label, then match the style to the dish.
Why it works with Beaufort Stew
Chardonnay's body matches creamy and bisque-style soups.
Switzerland's most-planted white grape (called Fendant in Valais) — light, lemony, gently mineral. The Swiss aperitif of choice.

Why it works with Beaufort

Red · Light · Dry
Burgundy's most temperamental grape, but the rewards are real — translucent ruby with a perfumed lift of red cherry, forest floor, and clove. Silken tannins and bright acid make it the most versatile red on the table; serve cool, around 58°F.
Why it works with Beaufort Stew
Light red works with heartier soups — French onion, mushroom, beef-based.
Savoie's most serious white — the Roussette grape (called Altesse), with honey, almond, alpine herb; ages well for years.
Why it works with Beaufort
Roussette De Savoie and Beaufort make a workable pairing — taste, adjust, enjoy.
Fortified · Medium · Dry
Andalusia's fortified white — runs from bone-dry Fino through nutty Amontillado to syrupy PX. The dry styles pair brilliantly with tapas; the sweet ones replace dessert entirely.
Why it works with Beaufort Stew
Dry sherry with consommé and clear broths is the classical aperitif move.
Red · Full · Dry
Shiraz's more reserved European cousin — Northern Rhône style, all violets, black olive, and white pepper. Less brawn, more poise; pairs as well with lamb as with peppered duck breast.
Why it works with Beaufort
Syrah brings dark fruit and grip to Beaufort — a meal-and-wine pairing built for slower evenings.
