Red wine

Start with the majestic Cabernet Sauvignon, the king of red wine, which is like an old mountain sage—robust and reliable. It will give you powerful, tannic wines with deep aromas of cassis and cedar, perfect for long cellaring. Merlot, more supple and fleshy, is like Cabernet’s faithful companion, offering rounder wines with hints of plums and chocolate, excellent for sweetening evenings by the fire.

Don’t overlook the noble Pinot Noir, the elegant explorer, who prefers cooler climates. Its wines are subtle and complex, with notes of cherries and spices, like whispers of the forest. And what about Syrah, the warrior of the sunny hillsides, offering spicy and robust wines, with aromas of dark berries and black pepper, ready to face the most daring meals.

Each grape variety has its own character, its own story to tell in your glass, like an adventure story that unfolds with each sip of red wine. So, choose your traveling companion according to the journey you wish to undertake in the infinite universe of red wine. Cheers, my friends, and may each wine take you to new discoveries!

To start, let’s take the powerful red wine Cabernet Sauvignon, a true warrior among wines, which pairs beautifully with equally robust dishes. Think of a nice grilled steak or a rich stew; its structured tannins contrast beautifully with the richness of the meat. The softer, velvety Merlot is the perfect companion for slightly less intense dishes, like roast duck or even a wild mushroom dish.

Pinot Noir, this explorer of cooler climates, finds its happiness with delicate dishes such as grilled salmon or a truffle risotto. Its subtle nature and notes of red fruits complement the flavors of this red wine without dominating them.

And what about the wild and spicy Syrah? It is perfect for accompanying spicy or smoky dishes, such as barbecue or Indian or Mexican cuisine, with its notes of black pepper and dark berries that dance to the rhythm of the spices.
