Red · Medium · Dry
The cooler-climate sibling of Cabernet Sauvignon — leaner, more aromatic, with notes of bell pepper, raspberry, and graphite. The Loire's Chinon and Bourgueil do it best.
Why it works with Gougéres
Cabernet Franc's cherry-and-spice profile pairs gently with Gougéres.
Sparkling · Light · Dry
Sparkling wine made from red grapes (Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier) but pressed before the skins color the juice. Fuller-bodied, more red-fruited than Blanc de Blancs.
Why it works with Gougéres
Champagne (blanc De Noir)'s bubbles and acid lift Gougéres — versatile and palate-cleansing.
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 Gougéres
Light reds like Pinot Noir pair flexibly with Gougéres — soft tannins, bright acid, food-friendliness.
