A family or friends barbecue is planned, and you might not know which wine to serve for the occasion, or with which dish. Domaine du Goût invites you to discover the best wine choices to accompany all your grilled dishes.
The classics: merguez and sausages
True stars of our summer barbecues, sausages and merguez are the most consumed and popular grilled items on our plates. For these, you should choose the wine according to their flavor. For merguez, opt for wines from Beaujolais and some other reds from the Rhône with spicy notes and intense fruit that will enhance them. Rosé and merguez also make a great match. What better way to feel like you’re on vacation than these two together? We recommend a light rosé for the aperitif, then a rosé with character for the meal, such as clairet, a wine from the Bordeaux region. It pairs perfectly with chipolatas. To also accompany sausages, wines from Pays d'Oc work very well. Slightly spicy, they complement the grilled aromas of chipolatas perfectly.
Red meats
With strong-flavored meats like beef, go for red wines with aromas of red and black fruits full of flavor. Preferably fleshy and tannic wines, simple but powerful to accompany the taste of beef. For this, we recommend wines from Languedoc or the Rhône Valley to elevate your meats. Bordeaux wines are also highly recommended.
White meats
To accompany white meats like pork or chicken, favor young and light wines. A well-chilled rosé from the Mediterranean or the Loire will go perfectly with marinated white meats. A light and especially fruity red like a Beaujolais, a Gamay, or even a red Sancerre will also be a very good choice for your white meats.
Fish and shellfish
For fish, choose a lively wine that will tone down the strong taste of grilled fish. A dry, fresh white wine is ideal. Wines from Alsace in particular, such as Pinot Blanc and Riesling, which are wines with very fruity and floral aromas, will enhance these grilled dishes. For shellfish like shrimp and prawns, rosés are highly recommended. A lovely Côte de Provence will elegantly accompany your prawns.
