What wines go well with red meat?

Whether it's slow-cooked dishes, grilled meats, or aged cuts of beef, red meat is synonymous with power and character. To create the perfect pairing, it's essential to choose structured red wines, rich in tannins and boasting a beautiful aromatic complexity. At Les Vins de Carole, we've selected age-worthy wines and expressive vintages to enhance every red meat dish.

The great red wines for aging: structure and intensity

For a grilled ribeye steak, a tournedos Rossini, or a wild boar stew, opt for powerful red wines such as a Pauillac , a Cornas , a Châteauneuf-du-Pape , or a Saint-Estèphe . Their firm tannins, generous body, and aromas of black fruit, spices, and leather create a perfect harmony with the richness of the meat.

The preferred grape varieties are Cabernet Sauvignon , Syrah , Malbec , or Mourvèdre , depending on the terroir. A Madiran or a Cahors will complement a dish with sauce or a slow-cooked roast.

Soft reds for less robust meats

For more delicate red meats like veal or beef carpaccio, opt for softer, fruitier red wines: a Pinot Noir from Burgundy, a Chinon , or a young Saint-Joseph offer gentler tannins and a lovely freshness. These wines complement the delicate flavors of the meat while adding elegance.

Those who enjoy summer barbecues can turn to a Costières de Nîmes , a Lirac or a Côtes-du-Rhône Villages , which combine intensity and fruitiness with balance.

And why not a white wine?

Although rare, some pairings with a structured white wine can be surprisingly pleasant, especially with veal dishes or cream sauces. A Meursault or a Chenin Blanc aged in oak barrels can thus accompany a roast veal with mushrooms or a veal chop with morels.

Service tips

Great red wines are best enjoyed between 16 and 18°C, after aeration or decanting for at least an hour. Younger, fruitier reds are best served between 14 and 16°C. Choose a wine with the appropriate intensity for the cooking method: a tannic wine for rare or braised meat, a more supple wine for medium-rare or grilled meat.
