Red · Medium · Dry
The blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre that fills every wine list in France for a reason — friendly, peppery, slightly rustic, made to wash down anything from grilled vegetables to lamb stew.
Why it works with Beef Bourgignon
Côtes Du Rhône's gentle structure complements Beef Bourgignon's flavors; reach for this when subtler is better.
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 Beef Bourgignon
Light reds like Pinot Noir suit Beef Bourgignon when you want the meat to lead — soft tannins, bright acid.
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 Beef Bourgignon
Pair Beef Bourgignon with Syrah when you want both wine and meal to push back equally.
